  Well, it depends on what you call "journal write". There were 3640
trasactions to your ext4 partition. Each transaction can contain more
"logical" operations like file creation, file write, rename, ... Each
transaction also consists of more blocks. In your case there were 7 blocks
per transaction on average - which is rather small but I expect that's
because the filesystem is mostly idle.
