Configuration Details:

Option Name: buffered_logs
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: buffered_logs off
Suggested Config:
Whether to write/send access_log records ASAP or accumulate them and then write/send them in larger chunks. Buffering may improve performance because it decreases the number of I/Os. However, buffering increases the delay before log records become available to the final recipient (e.g., a disk file or logging daemon) and, hence, increases the risk of log records loss. Note that even when buffered_logs are off, Squid may have to buffer records if it cannot write/send them immediately due to pending I/Os (e.g., the I/O writing the previous log record) or connectivity loss. Currently honored by 'daemon', 'tcp' and 'udp' access_log modules only.
