Log4Net Performance comparison with other logging utility
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-195
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-195
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Test
Affects Versions: 1.2.10
Environment: .Net Framework 2.0, VS 2005, Windows XP
Reporter: Ashish Khandelwal
Priority: Critical
I developed one utility to compare the performance between Log4Net and
nSpring(another logging utility). The result I saw is surprise to me - Log4Net
took more time than nSpring. It is surprise because "Log4net claims to be fast
and flexible: speed first, flexibility second."
Log4Net says: (http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/internals.html)
One of the often-cited arguments against logging is its computational cost.
This is a legitimate concern as even moderately sized applications can generate
thousands of log requests. Much effort was spent measuring and tweaking logging
performance. Log4net claims to be fast and flexible: speed first, flexibility
second.
Although test is saying Log4Net takes more time, I am still not convinced with
the result achieved, considering the fact; Log4Net is widely accepted by the
industry and known for its speed, reliability and flexibility.
I would like to know why Log4Net is taking more time, we might be missing any
setting or other which can boost the performance. Can you please help to know
the reason?
