UPower: Reduce disk writes?

[Stuart Miller]

Dear Richard Hughes,

I'm regret that I am not actually a developer, merely an interested user. I
do not posses the coding skills required to create a patch. At
an architectural level, I can only suggest that one way to reduce the
amount written to disk would be to add another column internally for that
data - if it had yet been written to disk. Then only new, unwritten data
could be appended to the files.

Sincerely,
Stuart Miller
