Howdy, We have systems with thousands of classes, each having a private static final Logger with its name as the full class name. We haven't run into scalability or performance problems related to this.
Losing the ability to turn the debug level for a specific class (as opposed to a package) at runtime can be very significant. That's not something we'd be willing to do. As for the gain, what would you expect to win by changing the naming convention? You'd save very little memory I think. Have you tried both ways with a profiler?
