I tend to accumulate events in a field or custom property and write to file every so often but not after every event. Showing them in a field is very useful during testing, but slower than using CPs as the data gets larger, so once you are sure it is doing what you want, swap to using CPs, but with a method for displaying them if you need to check. I would also write to a date-stamped file so that you start a new log file at midnight. This will keep the file sizes down if the app is running continuously.
