- Number of Scroll Lines: Maximum number of lines to show in the logview pane, specifying 0 here will result in no limit.

- Load file chunk size: Size of internal buffer which is used to load a logfile. Can be used to optimize file load time.

- Calculate Average Line Length: Use an algorithm to calculate the average number of characters per line to optimize the load of logfiles.

- Number of Lines read before update: Number of lines read from the logfile or socket interface before the logview pane is updated. This option make the screen update smoother, and lowers system load.

- Wait time for new loglines before update: Timeout to wait on new input logmessages before pushing messages to the logview pane.
