title: Windows EventLog: How fast are operations with it?
body: <p>I have a service application that is processing client requests over TCP and writing any events into Windows EventLog. Since this application is expected to service many clients and lots of requests from each client in a short amount of time (let's say between 1 and 50 requests per second), I'm curious to know how intensive (CPU wise and time wise) and how fast can writing into Windows EventLog be?</p>
  
  <p>More specifically, how intensive are the operations of connecting to, reading from and writing to EventLog?</p>
