The point about "dgram" is that it is connection-less, so I find this
puzzling. I don't need such a setting and have hundreds of processes
using syslog-ng.

It is not stress specific, just high concurrency specific. Also the
sock-stream /dev/log is a Linux (platform-specific) topic and is also
syslog-daemon dependent. Perhaps TUNING_README is better, but it is not
clear to me what the best place to mention this may be.
