For the JSON and binary formats, we can output timestamps as millis, so
that'll parse really fast. :)

I was thinking that we might need to modularise Chainsaw a bit for that. A
core, log4j2, log4j1(?), logback, whatever really, and a UI module or two
(depending on how the GUI evolves). I'll detail my ideas more thoroughly as
I plan out a general upgrade path.

I think so too. It's one of the lower overhead formats to parse right now
until we have some avro/thrift ones.
