Here is an extract from the usual Linux syslog.conf(5)
Regular File
Typically messages are logged to real files. The file has
to be specified with full pathname, beginning with a slash
``/''.
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.
Another option might be to try RAID-0 (stripe).
