Answer 1

If you want a better answer try to describe your problem in more detail, why you need such a huge number of messages to log? Logging was designed to record important information, especially warnings and errors, not every line you execute.

If logging takes more than 1% of your processing time, probably you are using it wrongly and that's not logging fault.

Second, related to performance: do not build the message before sending it to logging module (replace format % params with format command params). This is because logging does this for you, but much faster.
