Yes that's my reaction also.

System admins might regard multi-threaded as the key to high
performance. As programmers we consider it the key to increased
complexity and therefore more bugs.

Multi-threaded does allow you to use more than one CPU, but in the case
of syslogd ultimately the log file has to end up on disk anyway.
