(Yes, Guix System still uses a vintage syslogd—it’s dumb, but it does the job.)

  Recently installed Guix System on a machine with slowish spinning HDDs: it would boot super slowly and you could see kernel messages scroll by slowly on tty12.
  Turns out this is because syslogd (from GNU Inetutils) would ‘fsync’ after each line that gets logged, meaning we’d wait for the HDD for 0.2–0.8s after every line logged during bootup!
