It simply ignores bandwidth estimates from the RPC2 layers. There is no
network optimization, otherwise I would have used those optimizations
for the cases where there is low bandwidth.

Forcing the client into write-disconnected state vastly improves
performance. On the other hand it also allows for those nasty
reintegration conflicts, i.e. it's a tradeoff.

Write-back caching is an experimental attempt at achieving fully
connection behaviour while having write disconnected performance.
