With regards to timestamps, why not record the timestamp at the time the 
logging call is made and format it later? I would place most of the overhead 
in the writer thread while avoiding the issue of time stamps not reflecting 
the calls to the log functions. BTW, having the lines in the log file out 
of order is a minor issue to me. Having the time stamps not be guaranteed 
to be in the order that the log statement are called would be a major flaw.
