Are you rotating your access_log or using the same one, letting it
get bigger and bigger and bigger...

You might consider a script that will rotate them, similar to the
ones used for the system logs. That'll keep the size down.

just a suggestion in case you aren't already doing it. Some sites
don't and have monstrous log files sitting around.
