[syslog-ng] Multi-core use in threaded mode

[Martin Holste]

Yes, threaded(yes) is enabled as confirmed when using top -H to see
individual threads.  I have one inbound UDP source which gets a
thread, then one outbound UDP source and a program source.  Each looks
to get about 20-30% of a CPU, but the sum total of all three can never
go above 100%.  So, is it individual log {} stanzas that are tied to a
single CPU?
