It uses fwrite(), and normally sets its output into line-buffered mode.
For a high-throughput case like this it seems like using fully buffered
mode might be an acceptable tradeoff. You could try changing _IOLBF
to _IOFBF near the head of postmaster/syslogger.c and see if that helps.
(If it does, we could think about exposing some way of tuning this
without modifying the code, but for now you'll have to do that.)
