As far as I know, they don't slow down anything. It's only logs and are 
only written to. The size doesn't matter as it's not being read. You can 
delete them if you want.

Read what this log are doing. It's a way to track down Extensions which 
are using depreceated methods (and also other places where depreceated 
Methods are used).

As a lot of these changes in core are new (in TYPO3 4.2/4.3) it's 
logical that a lot of extensions will use depreceated methods and throw 
a line in the log.

As I can see every TemplaVoila message is refering to one depreceated 
method, t3lib_div::makeInstanceClassName().

As t3lib_div::makeInstanceClassName() is depreceated in 4.3, you can't 
expect that extensions which aren't updateted to work with 4.3 changes 
in 4.3 don't have a large possibility to throw an "message" like this. 
Remember a lot of extensions are years old.

It's not any problem either, as long as the depreceated methods aren't 
removed.

Yes, some extensions has to be corrected to work in future versions of 
TYPO3, but this is normal for every piece of software when the "core" 
part is developed to new and better versions and a lot of extensions are 
changed many times in the past because of such changes.

No need to - it doesn't do any harm, and I don't know of any way to 
deactive the writing of logs. But you can delete the logs from time to time

As this is a question regarding 4.3-alpha, it should be asked in 
dev-list. By the way, normaly you don't use alpha versions on 
productions sites.
