Hi guys,

How can I disable production log? My app use ajax to submit a form  
every 3 seconds and updates the screen. I only have 30 users and I am  
having a lot of rendering effort and cpu usage in a Pentium 4 HT.  
According to the agile book, log can be a cause.

Thanks in advance.

On my apps in production I only log warnings and error messages. You  
might  
want to do the same thing.

Put this in your production.rb file…

# Log only warnings + errors

config.log\_level = :warn
