does cron not check /etc/cron.d often?  i know you can drop files in
there and cron will use them without restarting it so it must check
this somehow...

it sort of does, from the man page:

       You  may  prefix  each  entry with the minus ``-'' sign to
       omit syncing the file after every logging.  Note that  you
       might  lose information if the system crashes right behind
       a write attempt.  Nevertheless this might  give  you  back
       some  performance, especially if you run programs that use
       logging in a very verbose manner.

referring to the file path your logging to.  some entries in the
default syslog.conf are already set this way.  turning off the -- MARK -- 
thing would probably help to.
