Or practical. That bed is insanely bad.
Why, exactly?
That's a pretty common reason people cite for buying big SUVs. A belief that being the bigger car in an accident makes you safer.
It's more than a belief... the statistics bear it out.
"The lowest 2015 death rate by vehicle type is for very large SUVs: 13 deaths per million registered vehicles. The highest is for mini cars: 64 deaths per million registered vehicles."

The price point is incredibly low for the capacity and performance. Go price a high-end Ram/F-series/Chevy and be amazed that you can easily spend 65K on something you'd feel comfortable taking a date to dinner in. I was shocked by the first look, but the practicality is there. I'd buy one, if I wasn't in the "post-payoff" period of my SUV. If the incentives are there and fuel costs rise, I think I could convince my spouse.

I spent a lot of time trying to build a fast logging system in my last couple of jobs. The basic lesson (and I'm only talking about C/C++/C# here) is that you will spend most of your time formatting strings if you do your file I/O asynchronously.
Since this system has a preprocessor mode, I assume they learnt the same lesson.
The bigger lesson is that it really doesn't matter how many millions of logs you can generate per second if you don't have the infrastructure to store and analyze them easily. No one is going to enjoy digging through these things and the more you generate, the harder it is to extract meaningful information.
In other words, pay a lot more attention to what you'll do with the logs rather than how fast you can spew them out. I have rarely needed more than a few thousand log messages/sec even for a loaded MMO server. I spent way more time creating ways to look at these logs and making them accessible in near real time.
This is, of course, true. Many fail with the mindset that if only they can build big enough haystacks, the needles will coalesce like shiny seaglass upon the shore, because surely they will hire the algorithmic wizards, and oh yes.. AI(!!) and ML(!!).
Still, this really could have useful applications in scientific applications where the goal is to capture extremely fast events in detail... super-colliders, fast-fusion events, etc...
