Re: Slow when logging.

[Marcio Scheibler <mds@smail.ufsm.br>]

Try to "bufferize" syslog output, and see if it helps...

For instance, if you have in your syslog.conf some line
like that:

local4.*       /var/log/slapd.log

According to syslog.conf(5) manpage, it sincs output log file
for each line written. Inserting "-" before filename it just
writes to logfile when buffer gets filled:

local4.*       -/var/log/slapd.log

I had this problem some time ago. Searches used to walk. After
this change, they run.
