One possible problem: The logging.properties file will be read whenever
the java.util.logging framework is being used for the first time in a
JVM; it's read by java.util.logging.LogManager.<clinit>, unless some
system properties indicate to use a different file (or configuration via
a custom class).

So, a long config file will slow down the start-up time of every Java
program that uses logging either directly or indirectly. I don't think
the delay would be significant, but I thought I should mention this.
