Review whether ReusableStringWriter helps more than it harms
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-312
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-312
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 1.2.11
Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
Fix For: 1.2 Maintenance Release
While fixing LOG4NET-76 I (like the original reporter) wondered whether
properly locking the ReusableStringWriter instances used in PatternConverter
and AppenderSkeleton really provides any benefit over just creating fresh
StringWriter instances rather than reusing existing ones.
I came up with the idea that it may be better in memory pressured environments
like phones thus I shied away from simply stop using ReusableStringWriter but
that reason may simply be wrong (I don't have any real experience with compact
framework and friends).
