Marc,
Correct me if I am wrong: 1) Location information is extracted because you (or code in a software component you are using) have configured a layout which outputs location information. Simply stop using location information which is know to be slow. 2) The speed for the extraction of location information depends on the OS. It is known to be slow on AIX and other Unixes but quite fast on Windows which suggests that the problem is with the OS and not log4j. More comments later, ps: If you intend to respond, please do so on the log4j-dev@ mailing list.
