For the record, I should apologize that I wrote this recipe more as a
proof-of-concept than as something efficient.
Noticeably, one of the drawback I didn't circumvent is that when
logging an action, the page log is *entirely* read into memory,
updated, then written to disk.

In the meantime, using $ActionLogLinesMax and $ActionLogArchive could
help by limiting the size of the work page.
