There's certainly a point in not refreshing the server log all the
time, especially if it's large, as has been mentioned recently on the
lists :-)

I also notice that we always refresh the list of which files are in
the log file directory all the time... In the case of my client, they
had almost 1,000 files in there. Yes, they should rotate more often,
but do we really need to reload that whole list all the time? ;)
