automatic behaviour, but to ask the user every time the problem
comes up.
\S{config-logflush} \q{Flush log file frequently}
\cfg{winhelp-topic}{logging.flush}
This option allows you to control how frequently logged data is
flushed to disc. By default, PuTTY will flush data as soon as it is
displayed, so that if you view the log file while a session is still
open, it will be up to date; and if the client system crashes, there's
a greater chance that the data will be preserved.
However, this can incur a performance penalty. If PuTTY is running
slowly with logging enabled, you could try unchecking this option. Be
warned that the log file may not always be up to date as a result
(although it will of course be flushed when it is closed, for instance
at the end of a session).
\S{config-logssh} Options specific to SSH packet logging
These options only apply if SSH packet data is being logged.
