Hi
About file-size, I just sum up the message-length using String.length(),
that's not 100% exact. As I'm not counting the bytes.
I don't think that it neccessary to read the file size from the file.
About speed I was testing WIN2k
Writing totally 45 File(s) 51.241.655 bytes
Testsuite: prantnik.test.log.TestRotatingFileOutputLogTarget
Tests run: 4, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 22,592 sec
Testcase: testSizeRotationUniqueFilename took 1,372 sec,
writing: 18 File(s) 2.357.165 bytes
Testcase: testSizeRotationRevolingFilename took 1,202 sec
writing: 18 File(s) 2.358.725 bytes
Testcase: testTimeRotationUniqueFilename took 10,014 sec
writing: 4 File(s) 23.577.710 bytes
Testcase: testTimeRotationRevolvingFilename took 10,004 sec
writing: 4 File(s) 22.948.055 bytes
