I have a logger setup for use at work, and I control it via a LOG_LEVEL setting in settings.py. I don't have logging statements throughout my code, only in things like the signal receiver that sends an email alert when a new object is created, so I don't notice any performance hit. This is a subjective feeling, though, and not benchmarked. I mainly use logging just to track that certain code paths are doing what I expect when run normally. I would think you would want it configurable, however, not automatic on debug. We run development in DEBUG, which I assume is common, and that could generate noisy logs. And what if I just wanted critical notices? Changing a log level setting seems the right way to do this. However, I know from talking to Adrian that he's not warm to the idea of logging in Django itself. :-) And for understandable reasons. It would be interesting to actually test the impact of a logger, though, just to know for sure.
