Ask HN: Is it wrong to write another Syslogd?
HN Hivemind:
Ive ended up writing a (rather simple) distributed syslogd (I'll be posting the code on GitHub in a week or two, once I've gotten the code REALLY matured) using C# and basic threading. So far, I've outclassed syslog-ng (I can handle 12k/msgs a minute on a 900Mhz P3 and have the load <2, while syslog-ng can only handle 4k/msgs a minute with a load of >6)
So, is it wrong to write /another/ syslogd implementation?
