-#define LG LOG(INFO)
+// Note on logging severity and verbosity level.
+//
+// Reserve LOG(INFO) for messages which are always to be put to log and don't
+// use the INFO severity for the debugging/troubleshooting type of messages.
+// Some reasoning behind:
+//
+//   - Library integration would want to disable "noisy" messages coming from
+//     algorithms.
+//
+//   - It is not possible to disable INFO severity entirely: there is enough
+//     of preparation being done for the message stream. What is even worse
+//     is that such stream preparation causes measurable time spent in spin
+//     lock, ruining multi-threading.
