Comment(by atagar):

 Most likely the issue isn't so much drawing the volume of logs, but rather
 that each DEBUG log event triggers a UI update. Arm ran into this problem
 too, and I'm addressing it by coalescing events if they occur too
 frequently (by default limiting UI updates to once every 300 ms). For the
 code involved look for the 'features.log.maxRefreshRate' config option in:
 https://svn.torproject.org/svn/arm/trunk/src/interface/logPanel.py

 I have yet to stress test this on especially heavily loaded relays so it
 might not be a silver bullet, but thus far it seems to be working well at
 keeping the interface nice and responsive at the DEBUG runlevel. Cheers!
