>Description:

syslog slows right down. This is probably related to a pr I sent in earlier.
ATM there is abouta 15 min delay between me logging something and it appearing.

Perl scripts block for quite a while while logging (using Sys::Syslog).

netstat -a contains the line:

udp     2570      0  *.syslog               *.*

from ps:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
root        79  0.0  1.3   204  384  ??  Ss   11:52AM    0:01.06 syslogd

I have given this pr such a high priority as I beleive it is related to one I
posted earlier (but am off line atm so I don't know the pr) where syslog halted 
the entire box. If someone can find the earlier one feel free to connect the two.
