log_mime_headers is normally only used for troubleshooting, both
because of the amount of output it produces and also because it
can reveal usernames/passwords submitted to web forms. Turn it on
only when needed.
As for performance, it could cause a problem, but that will vary
depending on setup. All you can do is monitor and see if a disk
bottleneck occurs.

Very likely not. These are generally not necessary, either - that's
why they are not compiled in by default.

Most log analyzers look only at the access.log anyway. Most of the
time you will only need access.log and cache.log.
