The only real disadvantage of this is that the data is not written to the file 
"in real time" -- so it's vaguely possible that some log info could be lost if 
there's a very bad crash that shuts down the logging task.  (But it's probably 
more likely that the disk onto which the data is being written will fail -- and 
there's not much you can do about that, other than to have another place to 
write if the first place fails.)
