Usually the way to do this sort of thing would be to write something to 
view your error log that starts displaying from the most recent entry. That 
way you can preserve the speed of appending to the file, but still see the 
latest error messages first.

In other words, rather than writing the file backwards, write something to 
read it backwards one entry at a time.
