buffered_log option in squid.conf

Hi Henrik,

In squid.conf I read:

# TAG: buffered_logs on|off
# Some log files (cache.log, useragent.log) are written with
# stdio functions, and as such they can be buffered or
# unbuffered. By default they will be unbuffered. Buffering them
# can speed up the writing slightly (though you are unlikely to
# need to worry).
#
#Default:
# buffered_logs off

Looking in the code, I have found that this true only for cache.log.
All other files use logfile.c functions that are always buffered.
This can be a little confusing, especially for access.log monitoring.

Regards

Guido
