Before everyone thinks that log files are the only thing you might
want to look at in this way, don't forget that there are a good range
of sequential files you might want to look at while they are being
created by some program that takes a long time to run.

Setting a log output rate will not help you in that case and neither
will changing the source code if you don't have access to the source
code for the program.
