David,

Thanks for the info.

what does your environment look like? how many messages of what size do you 
expect to receive, and what do you want to do with them?

I was running v3 until a few hours ago, now that I am on v5 I doubt I am hitting any performance issues from your estimations. I would say that I have a good mix of message sizes, I ran into the size limit in v3 and adjusted syslogd.h (4k) to get around it. We have stack traces that can be very long. As far as rate I am attempting to determine that, we produce around 50GB of uncompressed logs a day, much of it web server access logs. Similarly I use UDP exclusively.

50G per day with UDP should be pretty easy to do.

make sure you aren't doing DNS lookups and set the time lookups to 10 or so and you are probably in very good shape.
