As far as I know there are several options:
- LRU cleaning, when you reach LRU_MAX_DIRTY
- A full checkpoint
- When the buffer is old and Informix is nearly at the point he would overwrite the logical log on disk that holds the transaction info. So it could be that a fuzzy checkpint flushes 'old' fuzzy operations.
Idea hbehind it is to do more LRU clenaing and less checkpint cleaning to reduce checkpoint time.
If you need more info, please let me know.
