[WriteLog] Super Check Partial Slowing Down for big Logs

Hi Kostas...

Yes with a full feed of spots and RBN.  It has been a long time however, 
since I ran those straight into WL.  I use CC-User to log into a cluster 
node and I use that as a front end to set up filters and buffering.  
CC-User will output spots on 127.0.0 Port #? (I forget) which WL can 
take in.  CC-User has a check box to smooth out and throttle the rate of 
spots coming across the network.  I never notice any slowness to the 
spots coming in, but there may be a few seconds delay here and there as 
the smoothing takes place.

73,
Hal N4GG
