Syslog-ng timed sync

    Is there any way to be able to do a timed sync?  What I want to do is
be able to have syslog-ng buffer about 10 lines, but if nothing is logged
within, say, 10 seconds, syslog-ng will automatically flush the buffer to
disk.  This way, if the logging is bursty, the system doesn't get
strangled by the I/O writes during the heavy times and I don't get caught
waiting long times for more logging to fill the buffer during the quiet
times.  I'm concerned about using sync=0 because during the times when
the logging is heavy, it take a great deal of I/O to write to the logs.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
  -Hugh
