I remember hearing that Ntsync isn't even faster than fsync in general use, just in some rare corner cases

It fixed the lag spikes I experienced playing some of the older Call of Duty titles so it's overall been a huge upgrade for me.

This is true and expected, the point of NTSYNC was to be a more faithful emulation of Windows synchronization primitives, so increased compatibility and correctness. If it's ever faster than esync or fsync it's just a bonus. It's on par generally, though.
