If it's going to slow down the performance of my database when not doing
recovery (because I have to write two files for every transaction,
rather than one), I couldn't care less about speeding up the recovery
process.

As far as Bruce's question goes, what kind of corruption can happen to
the log files? We write a full block at a time, I guess, so it might
make sense to checksum it to verify that the block was not partially
written.
