Github user arunmahadevan commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1217#issuecomment-199235692 @roshannaik profiled "org.apache.storm.starter.ExclamationTopology" after setting log level to ERROR and the `send_to_eventlogger` doesn't show up in the top 25 methods in terms of CPU time. Tried with different configurations (one worker, three workers, increased and reduced the spout and bolt parallelism) but the results were more or less the same. ![profile-3-3](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/6792890/13916942/c480e89a-ef83-11e5-97f3-e4c0978dd8c5.png)
