Hi Joe,

You might want to look at Analog, at:

http://www.analog.cx/

The documentation is extremely complete and highly technical and I haven't
had time to read it all the way through yet, but from a quick skim it seems
like it may be able to do what you need.

I ran Analog (the Mac OS version) on the log from one of my sites, and was
very impressed with its speed. Cranked through a several meg log file in
just a few seconds.
