No, you have to accept it for free. ;-))) Synchronous logging means syslogd will write the incidents to the logfiles as soon as they occur (synchronous to the incidents). Asynchronous means that syslogd keeps a buffer of loggong items before writing them to file in a bunch. This reduces disk usage a lot on busy systems, but may result in missing log entries after a crash.
