I've been optimizing our Azure Sql Database and started getting really good performance. The main concern now is the Logging that it does. When running a insert/update load test, everything is low except the CPU which is peaking around 15% and the logging which is peaking around 25%. Since the logging IO is hitting 25%, this causes the DTUs to be 25%. I turned off Auditing in the settings for the database but that did nothing. Is there a way to reduce the logging that is being done? I'm not even sure where the logs are being saved.

Any insight on this would help as I've googled and couldn't locate anything worth mentioning about the logging that is happening.

I don't have byte sizes on me as I'm not in the office atm. Every `Task` is a `SELECT` and either `INSERT` or `UPDATE`, a typical add or update flow using Entity Framework. These tasks fire off and finish at a rate of 63 tasks per second to create those metrics.
