This plugin was created to limit which activities are written to the Activity Log (and hence the internal mt_log table in the database).
Specifically, it adds a new mt-config.cgi setting: LogExclude. LogExclude takes a comma separated list of log categories to exclude from the activity log; messages in those categories are simply ignored and will never reach the db.
For example:
LogExclude straight_search
would stop all searches from being logged.
