Sawmill presents an intuitive user interface, which leads users through every step of browsing a log file's statistics. Using an interview format, it asks questions when it needs information, so users only have to deal with the configuration options that are relevant to the task at hand. The program's stats pages are full of links to related information, organized intuitively so users can get to the information they want with a minimal number of clicks. A powerful, hierarchical optimization feature automatically reorganizes the hierarchy to increase the amount of useful information on each page. Sawmill can also add the contents of a log file into an optimized database, which can be incrementally updated as new log files arrive.
