+How to Disable Microseconds Precision
+-------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.11
+    The ``use_microseconds`` option was introduced in MonologBundle 2.11.
+
+Setting the parameter ``use_microseconds`` to ``false`` forces the logger to reduce
+the precision in the ``datetime`` field of the log messages from microsecond to second,
+avoiding a call to the ``microtime(true)`` function and the subsequent parsing.
+Disabling the use of microseconds can provide a small performance gain speeding up the
+log generation. This is recommended for systems that generate a large number of log events.
