Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-163:
------------------------------------
One thing I am considering is the possibility of making the LoggerConfigs
asynchronous instead of or in addition to having the ability to have the
Loggers be asynchronous. I can definitely envision the use case where debug
logging would want to be asynchronous while audit logging would not. Having
this at the LoggerConfig level would allow that. The only downsides to this
approach that I can think of are:
1. A slight loss in performance.
2. The complexity of having to deal with an asynchronous logger trying to
delegate to a synchronous parent logger via not setting additivity=false.
Thoughts?

> One of the main considerations for selecting a logging library is
> performance, specifically, how long it takes for a call to Logger.log to
> return. (See the comments of LOG4J-151 for a discussion of latency versus
> application throughput and logging throughput.)
> I believe it is possible to improve this performance by an order of magnitude
> by having an asynchronous Logger implementation that hands off the work to a
> separate thread as early as possible. The disk I/O would be done in this
> separate thread.
> AsynchAppender is not a good match for these requirements, as with that
> approach (a) the logging call still needs to flow down the hierarchy to the
> appender, doing synchronization and creating objects at various points on the
> way, and (b) when serializing the LogEvent, the getSource() method is always
> called, which is expensive.
