This only works if you can tolerate loss of some log items.

Very true. If you can, then it's a great way to log things.
Yikes, losing messages? If anyone designs a system that knowingly makes itself harder to diagnose under stress by destroying evidence, I only hope it's themselves and not their successors who are there to endure the pain.
As I said, it depends. If you're logging cycle completion times or web page visits, you don't care about losing a few.
