The RollingFileAppender shouldn't be buffering by default as the default value of the ImmediateFlush property it inherits from the TextWriterAppender is true [1].
Could it be the case that you are observing the log entries using a "tail" program which refreshes the log file after a period of around 20-30 log entries?
