Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-3:
----------------------------------

In my experimental branch java.util.concurrent is used quite a bit. Locking is 
as minimal as possible.

> Most components of log4j 1.2 are not inherently thread-safe but depend on 
> locks that are acquired after the threshold check and are not released until 
> processing is completed.  Unless the AsyncAppender is used, this effectively 
> limits log4j 1.2 to handlng only one logging request at a time.
> Core classes in log4j 2.0 should not depend on external synchronization for 
> thread safety.  
> Immutable classes should be preferred in the logging pipeline.  
> Class attributes (aka @Immutable and @ThreadSafe) should be used to document 
> thread-safety.
