    Answering my own question.. Turns off the sync after every
    write. From the syslog.conf linux manpage:

           You may prefix each entry with the minus ``-'' sign to
           omit syncing the file after every logging. Note that you
           might lose information if the system crashes right behind
           a write attempt. Nevertheless this might give you back
           some performance, especially if you run programs that use
           logging in a very verbose manner.

    Linux-specific.
