Your maillog is 270 meg's or 270,000,000? That is large.
What do you see in the file? Is this for a mail server. I
would stop syslogd momentarily and back up that logfile by
renaming it maillog.bak.041101 or something of that sort and
restart syslogd and see if your CPU load is down. When you
restart the syslogd maillog will be recreated when it needs
to write to it again.
