Of course, you were only logging *.warn and higher to the console, right? Otherwise you would get LOTS of crap from DNS, mail and POP/IMAP filling your logs.
It still dosn't solve the problem of syslog taking 90% CPU time, however. Much better to check once a day for people over soft but not to hard quota.
