This looks to be a similar thing with fsync(). It took approx 10 sec to
save a file containing the string "Hello World" 
The results indicate that the time was spent in the fsync() call.

craig@teratron.lan.etheus.net:~$ ps aux | grep vim

craig@teratron.lan.etheus.net:~$ strace -T -p 9111 2>&1 | grep fsync
fsync(4)                                = 0 <9.726565>
