Syslog server performance issue with appending log

[awksedgreep1]

Warning: Every time this function is invoked, a file descriptor is opened
and a new process is spawned to write to the file. For this reason, if you are
doing multiple writes in a loop, opening the file via File.open/2 and using
the functions in IO to write to the file will yield much better performance
than calling this function multiple times.

Performance is better after the refactor. I’ll try raw mode now and see if it improves further. I just timed the new IO.write and it took 4min 50sec to do 10m messages. Vast improvement, but I think it could be better. Thank you for the suggestion.
