What is the difference between Strings, taking the values 2,4 and 8,
and Request, taking the values 100, 1000 and 2000?
Are you sure you are waiting for the background thread to finish?
Your log4j configuration file suggests that your tests use two
appenders dest1 and dest2. You are aware that appenders are additive,
right? Does logging output go both c:/skk/cps/logger/test/test1.log
and c:/skk/cps/logger/test/test.log? Given that writing to a file is
the most time consuming task, is it fait to say that log4j is doing
twice the work roughly at the same cost?
