It only issues IO if changes have occured.  It isn't writing to disk
every second unless changes need to get to disk anyway.

(There was a bug where it _did_ write the metadata superblock every
second even when it wasn't needed.. since fixed with this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/linus/4d1662a30 )
