Move log writing operation to a background job.

Non-critical operations, like log writing, shouldn't influence in the user experience.

Create ProjectLogEntry records in a job

So you create a DB entry to avoid creating a DB entry?

perform_now is what I wanted, but it's too intrusive. But actually, what I really want is to remove the blocking logging operation of the main thread. The queue back-end used is just an "operation detail".. do you have any other suggestion? If it wasn't rails I would Fire it in a "fire and forget" Thread.new { } block

That makes little sense, why do you change this?

yes I was thinking about it too. Actually I wanted to go back to perform_later, but I've got sidetracked by another issue. perform_later is less intrusive. The logging has low priority and shouldn't block other jobs to execute..
