How does Syslogd impact my system responsiveness (speed)?

Syslogd is written to impact system response time as little as possible, while still maintaining the integrity of the log files it manages. Since the log files can be very important when a system crash occurs, Syslogd makes sure that the information it has written to the logs won’t be lost in the event of a system crash. As such, it sacrifices some response time for safety.
