I haven't verified this, but the readlog driver *should* deliver all  
the messages from the log file, and they should all be enqueued for  
delivery to the client.  Of course, if the client reads too slowly,  
the server-side queue for that client will eventually fill up (after  
the TCP send and receive buffers have also filled up).  If you get  
server-side messages about full message queues, then you should  
reduce the 'speed' of the readlog driver to less than 1.0, so that  
the log file is read more slowly.  Alternatively, you could increase  
PLAYER_MSGQUEUE_DEFAULT_MAXLEN in player.h
