The validation in the model's setting writes its three maps and the map
MTZ over the ones the first validation wrote seconds before, and a
two-pass run writes over the first pass's. XFS (like ext4) flushes a file
that was truncated and rewritten when it is closed, so each overwrite
forced ~155 MB out to the disk on the spot. Measured on /data (XFS on a
hard disk): three 155 MB files rewritten 3.16 s, written fresh 0.62 s,
removed and written again 0.66 s. The contents are the same bytes either
way.
