Description

Right now the ZHL::Logger opens a file every time it is created instead of using a buffer that gets flushed regularly. This can lead to performance issues. Improve this by either using a buffer or opening the file once at the start of the game and closing it at the end (this may lead to logs getting lost if the game crashes).

There is also a strong possibility that KAGE::LogMessage has a similar issue, which is bad and quite hard to fix.

Research direction

Start by locating ZHL::Logger and KAGE::LogMessage in the C++ source and tracing when their files are opened, written, flushed, and closed. Compare a buffered design with opening the file once for the game lifecycle, then verify that logging remains correct and that both logger paths are addressed or their scope is documented.
