I wonder if it would be worthwhile to make a ModestLock that locks the file for a few seconds after the last log in anticipation of another log message. When recording a lot of messages you'd benefit from having an exclusive lock during a lot of messages then when the system has slowed down some (i.e. no messages in 2+ seconds) it releases the lock. Maybe that time period would be need to be tweaked or configurable.
