I think the server has enough CPU and memory resources (Pentium III 650 with 1Gb RAM) to handle the logs incoming from the web servers as it works fine at the beginning without loosing messages and the performace decreases progressively instead of from the beginning. I think I could solve the problem with the appropiate gc_idle_threshold() and gc_busy_threshold() settings (now I using the default values), but I'm not sure if it would be the solution and in this case I don't know how to calculate the right values for these para meters.

Any advice?

What about first upgrading to 1.4.10 ? -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
