I too would like to improve the response of the log viewer. However much the
base firewall product has improved over the last few years, the log view
application is still rubbish. In a moderately busy environment it's not upto
the job (IMO). In many respects (if possible) a plaintext log file and
judicious use of tail & grep would probably yield better results.....
Now what'd be nice is if someone tells me that this is possible....

Besides switching to Gauntlet? (kidding)
Clear out your log directory? it's in $FWLOG/log
What I do is create another volume just for Logs. I mounted it in
/var/log/fw1
I then do this:
fwstop
mv $FWDIR/log/* /var/log/fw1
fwstart
I find that the log viewer is then ALOT more acceptable, but it still is a
pain.
I don't exactly know where the problem is. I had this call in at checkpoint
for about 2 months before I gave up on them. I had it escalated to the test
bench and then all the way to Israel but they were unable to help.
What version of FW1 are you running?
