Description William Jon McCann 2013-10-02 18:20:10 UTC 
It seems that we currently show the most recent 10 log items. This isn't enough especially since we don't have event compression. Perhaps a good default would be to load the log since the last boot and have an option to load more if required.

Since commit 1b1e6f1ef95cc84130b4b5284b5425bd848e79ed, logs from the current boot are shown for all categories. This is pretty slow for some of the categories, especially "all", but a fair start. There still needs to be an option to "load more logs", and maybe this would work well for categories with lots of events too.
Comment 2 David King 2014-03-27 09:30:01 UTC 
The speed problem is now mostly solved (instantiating the widgets for the event view listbox is done in an idle, in batches), and logs for the current boot are shown. Loading speed (or rather, interactivity) could be improved further by retrieving logs for the journal in an idle (or thread). The only thing remaining is to load more logs, or select the boot to show logs for, which is covered by bug 726229.
