Check that your syslog doesn't log synchronously. For the basic
sysklogd, it means you need to have a "-" in front of your file
names. And even with this, sysklogd's limits are quickly reached
(between 300 and 1000 logs/s depending on the machine).
For high loads, I strongly recommend syslog-ng. It's the only one I
found which managed to log more than 10000 logs/s without dropping
any :
