I respectfully disagree with that statement. I think you might underestimate the effort that would take to do rewrite the logs. Based on my experience with doing this for the multi-tty branch I don't think this is the case. I would estimate at least a day of work do get that done (might take a lot more than that though). C-s can find anything in a matter of fractions of a second. It is extremely hard to believe that all the searches done afterwards will add up to that much time.
