The log system is well designed, you get a few lines every now and then, we had servers that would spit several hundreds lines a second in the Console, yet this has never been a problem of any kind. Tons of problems can happen, scarcely triggered by a Console-clogging phase.
With respect, I thin you're missing the point. A person sits down to write an AppleScriptObjC app in Xcode. They rely on the log; it's their only debugging tool. And every time they run their application to test it, the rather small console area fills up with all this noise, and looking for messages they actually want logged is harder than it should be. After a dozen or so iterations, you get sick of having to either scroll the log, or trying to resize it, or closing it because you didn't log anything so you didn't want it to open and cover your code, and so on. It really becomes annoying and time-wasting, especially if several scripting additions are doing it.

It's your choice, and given that you give it away free, I don't blame you. But please don't deny that there's an issue -- it might not be one that affects a lot of people, and you may not have come across it, but it *is* a serious pain-in-the-console for AppleScriptObjC users. Try it your self and see.
