That is quite a lot of logs... Can you do just a `wc -l *` a minute
apart and diff that?  I'm particularly wondering what the rate of
notices/sec you are getting.  I recently ran into and fixed an issue
with notice supression using a lot of memory:

I wonder if that could be the issue you are running into..
