I think this will have zero impact on your FSX installed on an SSD, since this concerns only drive write scheduling. The only time this would matter with FSX is when installing something.
The biggest impact will be on laptops that have SSD for their only hard drive.
The article also mentions gains from "reduced fragmentation". Fragmentation is strictly not an issue on SSDs since they do not have read heads that take time to move from block to block like a spinning-platter drive.
Reducing writes on SSDs is always a good thing, but I see more hype than substance in that article.
