To clarify, the function of ureadahead is to load files used by the boot
process into memory (disk cache) before they are needed by the boot
process. Specifically, it is used to increase the speed of reading files
from the disk.

Log files in /var/log are not read from the disk during the boot
process, they are only written to. So there is no value in caching them
with ureadahead, and in fact there can be a very significant performance
penalty if the logs are large.

Removing /var/log from ureadahead is the point of bug 559525, so it is a
valid duplicate in this case.
