If you really need it, save it on a remote server (nfs or so), that 
should minimize the problems

the writing of the logs.




I haven't made benchmarks, but speaking out of my experience and 
knowing that asterisk debug level is very verbose I think it will have 
a sensible impact.
I can remember a very slow samba installation due to the sysadmin 
forgetting to turn off the debug level of logging, it made the 
difference between we can use it and we switch back to windows, 
and I'm talking about a dozen of users, not big numbers.
Are you sure debug level will help you tracking the issues ? Usually 
debug level info is for debug like what is the bottleneck ?, why my 
prepaid agi isn't doing the update on hangup ?, nothing you need to 
keep tracking once you are in production.


imho
Is better to log as few expected stuff as possible and as much 
unexpected stuff as possible.

/imho

Anyway autoanswering your question is pretty simple, put an agi which 
timestamps the first line of each extension and one for the last one, 
send a lot of calls in the system with and without debugging and look 
at the results.

[Asterisk-Users] logging performance, important impact?
