C#: Event Logs

I have a functions (rather events).. which write to event logs every 3 to 5 seconds..There are 5 to 10 functions which do this .. writing to event logs... i m aware of the fact that writing to event logs is resource hog.... is there a better way of doin it? i figured it that maybe for temporary i may write to XML file and then run another threads that periodically checks this XML file.... though in this situation the timing of event gets changed....

re: C#: Event Logs

Log4Net is a logging tool that you could utilize. If you needed to check information written to the log you could simply parse the file for the data that you are looking for.
