When running the server in daemon mode, it's about 4-5
times slower than running it in debug mode.
I suspect it's the 4 million calls to syslog, which is
bypassed in debug mode.
Do we really want to log a system method for every
client operation? I suspect we should reserve this for
exceptions and errors only.
Also, it's not polite to fill up the system logs with
gigabytes of useless information.
