As Johannes says you are most likely overloading the logging system. Unfortunately the default event handlers do not offer protection against this but you can easily write your own (start by copying this one <https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/v2.4-M2/akka-slf4j/src/main/scala/akka/event/slf4j/Slf4jLogger.scala#L58>) to use a bounded Mailbox or a bounded internal queue before dispatching to the actual Logger (in a non-blocking fashion or in a child Actor).
