[syslog-ng]syslog-n limits.

[Luc Mazardo]

hello, 

I use syslog-ng (syslog-ng-1.4.17) and try to do some benchmarks with it.
I've some problems for tuning it. The load average of syslog is more than 
10.0 on a bi PIII 860 on a linux box decreasing to 2.0.
My test is 50 clients simultaneously (using syslog() system call) with 500 logs 
per second during 5 minutes.

Here is the option i use:

options { use_dns(no); long_hostnames(off); sync(100); log_fifo_size(5000);
          gc_idle_threshold(50);gc_busy_threshold(5000); };
source src { unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(100)); internal(); udp(); };

Is there a different parameter to use for not increasing so much the load avg ?
Thanks in advance.
