I don't think it's worth mentioning, given that we have the Load
Distributed Checkpoints in there. That alone will tell people that
there's been some major changes to checkpoints.

This might be worth mentioning, since it can be quite a big difference
in the right circumstances, and it helps a bit with the scalability
problem of the recovery. Should mention that it only helps with
full_pages_writes=on. One more reason to not gamble with data integrity ;-).
