Is there any chance you could run your application under YourKit and profile startup?
Your partner uses %L so each log event needs to locate the location of the caller. In Java 8 that used the com.sun.Reflection class but that was removed in Java 9 so in Java 11 it would be using java.util.StackWalker. I suspect the majority of the time will be there. I have made several attempts to make that faster but haven’t seemed to find something that works for everybody. So providing a profiling snapshot would help enormously. FWIW, Logging to the Console is known to be very slow, but I don’t believe it should have changed that much between Java 8 and 11.
