1. If syslog-ng will stop to read data from fifo by some reason (or if syslog-ng 
will be terminated), nginx will be blocked on writing to log and will stop to 
respond to requests. So it is unreliable.

2. Ewen when syslog-ng work, this add unpredictable delays to nginx request 
processing, when nginx writes log faster, than syslog-ng can read at this moment.
