+== Fixing an expensive logging call (in a hotpath) ==
+This is a recurring problem, see: r2294, r2290, etc
+
+By running the server with:
+{{{
+xpra start :10 --start-child=glxgears
+}}}
+And the client with:
+{{{
+./tests/scripts/pycallgraph -t draw -i '*' -r 20 -- attach :10 --no-mmap
+}}}
+We find that logging is really costing us dearly:

+[[BR]]
+So we remove logging from this critical path in r2484, and we now find:

+[[Image(pycallgraph-draw-loggingremoved.png)]]
+[[BR]]
+That's a saving of about 35% - not bad for such a small change!
