If we queued alerts and sent them at the end of a monit-cycle, your  
logfile matching should at least be on par and probably faster than  
logcheck. Open and close sockets takes a lot of time and you do 90 of  
them! I do not think we should use time now doing this extra effort,  
but it's worth to consider if optimizing should be an issue later.
