SolutionPlacing a - before the filename disables synchronous file writes.
Basically, this disables an fsync() after each message, and is a common performance improvement for syslog. You can also stop logging the debug messages if you're all setup....

Re: "-" b4 the path in sysconfig file ?
I don't believe any of the other services require it. So, I'd leave those alone.
Kind regards,
Phil
