10.5: Avoid syslogd CPU usage when using AppleScript
Authored by: Auricchio on Tue, Jul 8 2008 at 11:40AM PDT

Beyond that, if you put these two lines at the beginning of your own AppleScript, it would take care of the syslogd issue before executing the rest of your AppleScript. Then there's no need to launch Terminal just to prepare to run an AppleScript.

I would not advise doing this. Having the script simply kill syslogd is a very bad idea, because future system updates could cause side-effects from doing something like that.
