- Greatly enhanced rsyslogd's filw write performance by disabling file
syncing capability of output modules by default. This feature is usually not required, not useful and an extreme performance hit (both to rsyslogd as well as the system at large). Unfortunately, most users enable it by default, because it was most intuitive to enable it in plain old sysklogd syslog.conf format. There is now a new config setting which must be enabled in order to support syncing. By default it is off. So even if the old-format config lines request syncing, it is not done unless explicitely enabled. I am sure this is a very useful change and not a risk at all. I need to think if I undo it under compatibility mode, but currently this does not happen (I fear a lot of lazy users will run rsyslogd in compatibility mode, again bringing up this performance problem...). - added $ActionfileEnableSync config directive
