Time you could try changing when the log rotate happens.  It is a
cronjob that runs daily and calls the program `logrotate`.

I think all the jobs in /etc/cron.daily look run at 4:02AM by default on
my system here.  Check /etc/crontab to find out for yours.

You may wish to strip out /etc/cron.daily/logrotate and move it to the
root directory where you can set up r00ts `crontab` [man crontab for
more info] and have it run at say 3:00AM instead of firing with all the
other jobs in that directory.
