(Was reading through your article from 2014 on Syslog Perf)

No thank you for the advice.. that’s one reason I’m in the list!  These rsyslog 
servers are going to receive lots of messages from up two a couple dozen 
sources each so I’m really wanting the best initial config I can scope. I know 
tweaking will take place but I’d rather they didn’t fall flat on their faces on 
day 1.

The description of asyncWriting does leave an impression of a tiny but extra 
cpu load, but what’s unclear except from maybe years of experience, is how 
impactful versus the gains.

by the way, async writes on omfile are almost never a good idea, it adds an
extra queue between the omfile module and the write, and the locking on that
queue adds more overhead than the write would. The place it has some use is
where your output has a significant amount of processing (compressed output for
example), and even then you have to check.

not the issue you are posting about, but something I noticed in the config.
