John Cairns commented on LOG4J2-1430:
-------------------------------------

Anthony, I'm afraid these benchmarks are perfectly relevant.    I will write a 
detailed blog post about these results in a few days and post the link here so 
you can know my thoughts.  For now suffice it to say that I tested 2 
configurations.  A 4 core high clock rate box typically used by performance 
enthusiasts, and a 24 core  business class box typically used in enterprise 
environments.   In both cases, I constrained the number of cores dedicated for 
logging to 1 or 2 as would be expected for most applications.  I agree with you 
that a high number of threads is not relevant, but that was the question that 
you introduced in the discussion.  Personally I would have only benchmarked a 
few threads as that is what will be the common case for 99% of applications 
using log4j and it is also the best case scenario for Conversant Disruptor.  
Any application with high number of threads contending on the log would simply 
fill up the disk and fail.   That's not a very interesting use case.  

Here are the results you requested on my 4 core 3.3Ghz Haswell Xeon box.    
Both Conversant and JCTools are using a parking/waiting strategy.    I have not 
used taskset to select a CPU.   You can see that this really impairs 
performance of both approaches as we are now spending time waiting that we 
didn't have before.   I also believe this is fairly atypical in that the 
majority of performance enthusiasts would be using taskset to select the cores 
for their application.  This is also not typically done in benchmarking as it 
introduces contention with other system processes that we should not be 
measuring.   I'm not sure how beneficial this is to anyone but I hope it 
satisfies your curiosity:
