Searching the logs is too slow #1713

Searching in logs is very slow. Maybe we can add other compression algorithms with higher decompression speed like LZO, or/and change log format to be easily parsed for machines?

The correct answer to "searching is slow" is generally indexing, not compression.

I use searchmonkey to search logs. It is far from ideal but it is fast and shows sniplets. I don't know if it is possible to build it into kvirc but it it would sure be luxurious. (I can dream right?)
