My log folder is a whopping 35MB after almost 4 years. LLSD would have
to be very inefficient in order for my log directory to over take the
cache directory within the next decade.

I'll play devil's advocate and say llsd isn't that far off from this.
It's definitely more verbose, but the main difference is the UUID
instead of LOGNAME. Here's an actual line from my log file.

{'from':'\xe7\xa4\xbc\xe5\xad\x90','from_id':udba66655-e06a-47d9-a241-f055b85041ef,'message':':o','source_type':i1,'time':'2010/08/31
17:38'}
