;-)

Beeing in Rome, you might want to reduce the traffic in Rome...

In particular, if verbose apps output to event log via syslog(), this 
results in many single line event log entries.
The native win release of smartd.exe writes multiline eventlog entries 
containing all syslog() lines appearing within a second.
You might consider this idea also for Cygwin's syslog() implementation.
The code from smartd.exe is in the syslog_win32.c module included in the 
smartmontools-src package.
