I believe that appending to > a file becomes more expensive when a file gets very large (which is > obviously the scenario with log files) Thank you Bill - this is what I had in mind - whether appending to a large file will not be an issue? It is currently about 145MB. By the end of month it will surely be around 300MB. > Also, at rotation time, if you're compressing those logs it can be a > pretty big load to compress 145M.

Load is not an issue yet but I want to optimize things that can be optimized. So I guess, rotate more often? I like the idea of having one monthly log because it is then processed by web stat software so it is easier to submit one than a couple of them.
