Nothing ;-)  data=journal writes every data block twice, opnce to the
log and once to the main disk.  Most of the time this makes things
roughly 1/2 as fast as it was before.

The only time data=journal helps is when you've got a very fsync or
O_SYNC heavy application.  Try running iozone with -o on both
data=journal and without it, data=journal is 2 or 3 times as fast.

This is because we can do the sync by writing to the log instead of
writing to the log and having to seek back to the main disk.
