turn off logs?

[James Cameron]

... and the write I/O is now buffered.  Early in the 0.84 cycle it was
unbuffered, and this greatly hurt performance.  Even with the buffered
I/O, occasional writes will stall, resulting in activity code stall.

Future redesign might be to pipe the stdout/stderr to the Sugar shell
and have it write it to filesystem only if the activity fails.  ;-)
