Does the Journal size have an impact on performance?
I noticed my system.journal already has 60 MB in 2 days of use, and acording to the wiki it can by default take up to 10% of the root partition size, so this would ammount to 6 GB of system.journal for me.
Should I limit it's size or 6 GB of journal won't affect the performance of my machine?
If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough...

Re: Does the Journal size have an impact on performance?
Roughly two week's worth of logging takes up about 50Mb on my system; sounds like something's spamming the system log. So to answer your question: no, it shouldn't affect performance, but neither should it reach anything near 6 gigs. I'd say limit it to maybe 200Mb and find out what's filling it up so quickly.

Re: Does the Journal size have an impact on performance?
My iptables rules are flooding it, but if it doesn't affect performance then I'm OK with it. I though on changing the logging level of iptables to 'crit' instead of 'info' but I'm not sure what are the implications of that yet.
