[WriteLog] Version 12 question

[halken]

There is no reason to set it to 1 and good reason(s) not to.  In a large 
log it will needlessly slow things down - every QSO.
WL saves into a journal file every QSO not yet saved in the main log.  
You can't lose a QSO.  I have put this to unscheduled tests more than once.
I have my save line set to 200 and my warning line set to 201, which 
means I never get a warning.  I set it that way to alert me, that if 
things were ever to go so wrong that the save didn't happen at 200, I 
really needed to know about it.  If 15 years that has not happened - not 
once...
Save at every QSO is a holdover from CT days and now a burden not a help...
