I'm sure this is OS dependent as well. I've only seen the obvious: if you
log a ton of data, say at the DEBUG level, and enable DEBUG, then yeah,
things are going to slow down. Obvious.

The complain I usually hear is that our server logs too much DEBUG data,
and that users do not know which log category to disable to alleviate this
issue. But that is not a Log4j issue.
