Performance Log in Text Files

Note

Caution
The implementation of writing lines to a log files is not reliable in multi-user scenarios. When multiple user attempt to write to the log file at the same time, errors may occur, and log lines will be lost. This is major reason why this functionality was discontinued and replaced with something better with the introduction of TOPICA version 4.21.
