How to find out what's going on

[Joel Reymont]

Why would throughput be better with synchronous logging as opposed to  
asynchronous?

I'm afraid of tracing becoming a bottleneck if I make it synchronous,  
sort of like a lock that only lets one process through. Maybe my  
fears are unfounded, though.

Also, how do I get hold of the disk_log pid to inspect the message  
queue length? I found pid2name(Pid) -> {ok, Log} | undefined but  
don't see a name2pid(Name) -> {ok, Pid}.
