Yes, but currently single application is able to fill in RAM with unwritten data, so that the whole system (every other application) has to wait while data is drained. And that blocks not only write-out, but also reading of data. Resulting in very long delays and non-responsive system.
IMO this is a result of bad design or a bug in the application causing the block - I use several 3d graphics/rendering applications which generate very large amounts of intermediate data (much more than can be written to disk at the speed it's generated) and none of them block other applications, even though they may be unresponsive themselves due to waiting for their own write-out to finish...
Maybe they use "sync" writes. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
