If you dont want to have it rendering the log permanently I use this script.
I have not noticed any additoal load with log rendering but the server is 
heavyily enough loaded at peak to avoid adding my load.

Pass it the hours you want rendered. Defaults to 1.

#!/bin/ksh
lines=$1
[[ -z $hours ]] && hours=1
while true
do
   echo "++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"
   nsr_render_log  -S "$hours hours ago" /nsr/logs/daemon.raw
sleep 20
done
