The files written to /private/var/log/asl are log files. If the logs are getting that huge that quickly, you need to read them to figure out what is causing the problem, and then fix that problem. I won't say that it can't be Quicksilver, but I haven't heard of QS causing that much logging. A little bit of Googling turned up the suggestion that this can arise as a result of a rare bug in Time Machine on Leopard.
