twisted.out.log write delay

Problem: After starting twisted with an xmpp config, tailing twisted.out.log shows that logging stops abruptly, ~~then there is a long delay of 5min then logging continues~~. logged messages are cutoff and no longer continue.
Expected: Once twisted is started and connected to xmpp, logging should not delay

The log file is cut off at <ping xmlns='urn:xmpp:p

The twisted bot appears to be functioning correctly except for logging.
