Good grief, what on earth are you logging?  I'm monitoring over 1000 
hosts and 1600 services and my daily logs range between 600KB and 
1.5MB.  Can you post a snippet of your log (say a 15min span ) so we can 
get an idea of what it is logging?

I'd love to see how your browser copes with viewing the daily log.
