I suspect that the problem is not because it's huge. Do you have some 
evidence that it's the writing of the log file that is causing the schedd 
to slow down?

If the schedd is handling a lot of jobs it can get really slow. This is 
something we are working on, and I don't think we considered large job logs 
as a potential problem, so if you have evidence that it's a problem I would 
be interested in seeing more information about it.

Are you specifying "output" and "error" in your submit file? What happens 
if you don't specify them? Condor shouldn't make them if you don't specify 
them.
