For the users of laptop-mode patch I find this entry in the manual page of syslog.conf very interesting:
"You may prefix each entry with the minus ‘‘-’’ sign to omit syncing the file after every logging. Note that you might lose information if the system crashes right behind a write attempt. Nevertheless this might give you back some performance, especially if you run programs that use logging in a very verbose manner."
Found that after finding out that it was syslogd who spun up my disk:)
