Howdy,
It won't be an issue. We have systems with tens of thousands of classes
loaded at runtime (and many of them in the working set of the app). We
use the logger name = fully-qualified class name convention, and it
works perfectly for us with no performance degradation.
What does make a big difference, since you seem to care about this, is
using if(logger.isDebugEnabled()) { ... } around logger.debug
statements.
