I'm not sure about the journaling, but the trick is that it caches writes very aggressively -- we're talking dozens of MB at a time, and it often holds onto those writes for not just minutes but even hours.
Just want to point out that XFS offers a few tuning parameters to control how long it will cache metadata before writing it out. Reducing these parameters "encourages" xfs to write associated file data more frequently as well.
