IIs logfiles and network bandwidth

I seem to be running into some network bandwidth / bottleneck  issues that may have to do with IIS log files.  Right now we have several websites writing their logfiles in W3C extended log format and sending them to a device called Drobo.  The Drobo device seems to be slowing down when browsing through it.  Does anyone know the advantages and disadvantages to setting the frequency of log time periods in IIS?

Right now ours are set to daily for every site.  Would changing this setting to hourly allow for more network bandwidth?

Which Drobo product are you using?

What type of drives are in it?

What is the connectivity between the Drobo and the web server?

How many is "several" web sites?

How many total hits per second are you getting on all of the web sites combined?

Well first of all, despite any of the questions asked, would hourly logging allow for a more consistent use of bandwidth instead of daily which might be sending a huge chunk of data at once?
