Keep in mind these results are with a slow external drive, but yah
fat32 sync performance is still really bad.
This patch is just meant to make fat32 sync performance better, not
necessarily make it usable for everyone [one step at a time and all
that]. FAT32 sync is quite slow (see
http://readlist.com/lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/22/111761.html
), so if you want fast performance [or have drives with limited write
cycles] async is almost definitely the way to go.
I have a patch [not this one] which adds a module param ("fast") which
syncs the FAT tables after 30 seconds of no write activity, but I
don't think the majority of people are interested in it.

1024 records out 1.824985 seconds. Is there decrease case? I assume
the result is same. So, we would need different approach.
