Analog is fast - very fast. As Jeremy pointed out, you won't speed Analog up 
by bypassing the logformat analysis, which only happens on the first few 
lines of the logfile - Analog doesn't anayse every single line of the log to 
figure out the format.

The formats that Analog recognizes are described in the documentation:
