Github user arunmahadevan commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1217#issuecomment-199754698 @roshannaik I ran the Exclamation topology with the TestWordSpout emitting a tuple every 10 ms with a spout parallelism of 10 and measured the throughput with and without event logger and I observed almost the same results. I am also attaching the Jprofiler output after tracing the topology for about 1.36 Million tuples where the send_to_eventlogger is consuming only around 0.2% time. <img width="1220" alt="spout" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/6792890/13949426/fac1a5ee-f04a-11e5-95f1-f5d9a412ff77.png">
