Apps spamming my log I've been looking at my log recently for more development of android applications, and I've noticed my log is spammed with all sorts of information that I wouldn't considered needed to be logged. 

Over time, I've notice my phone get slower. I've even noticed at this point, completely stock firmware with a number of apps from the Play Store, running music right now, and Eclipse can't even keep up with the log output on Verbose logging. 

My question is related to this. Are the logs stored for a while that might cause space to gradually disappear? Is there a way to turn off some logging features as to not record to "disk" things like verbose, when apps don't even need it? I've always thought logging should be done if it's an error, not "just because". If it's debugging information, then the release version shouldn't log that much output (easily done with a simple variable switch). Am I wrong in this thinking?

Thanks in advanced!
Android logs are stored in an internal ring buffer.  As such, I don't see how even the overly verbose apps could slow the system down purely through logging.
