 One of the main considerations for selecting a logging library is 
 performance, specifically, how long it takes for a call to Logger.log to 
 return. (See the comments of LOG4J-151 for a discussion of latency versus 
 application throughput and logging throughput.)
 I believe it is possible to improve this performance by an order of magnitude 
 by having an asynchronous Logger implementation that hands off the work to a 
 separate thread as early as possible. The disk I/O would be done in this 
 separate thread. 
 AsynchAppender is not a good match for these requirements, as with that 
 approach (a) the logging call still needs to flow down the hierarchy to the 
 appender, doing synchronization and creating objects at various points on the 
 way, and (b) when serializing the LogEvent, the getSource() method is always 
 called, which is expensive.

Ralph, thanks for your feedback!
Please find attached file LOG4J2-163-log4j-async-20130331a.patch

This fixes the issues you mentioned:
* removed @author tags from source code
* removed com.lmax classes, declared dependency in pom, fixed imports and 
updated documentation

The disruptor version I used is 3.0.0.beta3.

(the images referenced in the manual have not changed, so I did not upload them 
again. Please unzip them into the src/site/resources/images/ directory)

Just for fun I attached a graph comparing the throughput performance of async 
loggers to async appenders (incl. log4j-1.x and logback).

Ralph, I hope to submit an updated patch that includes the LOG4J2-153 changes 
this weekend.

Please find attached file LOG4J2-163-log4j-async-20130320.patch. 

Changes:
* Updated for changes in trunk
* Upgraded to latest version of LMAX Disruptor (3.0.0-beta3) for better 
performance in multi-threaded scenarios
* Added manual page (src/site/xdoc/manual/async.xml)
* Added performance and JUnit tests
* Various small improvements

As before the patch file contains the new module log4j-async, and also contains 
patches for the following JIRA tickets that the log4j-async module depends on: 
LOG4J2-151 
LOG4J2-153 
LOG4J2-157 
LOG4J2-164 

I also updated pom.xml to add the module and change the compilation version to 
Java 6.

 called, which is expensive.

 Create asynchronous Logger for low-latency logging
 --

 Key: LOG4J2-163
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-163
 Project: Log4j 2
  Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta4
Reporter: Remko Popma
 Attachments: FastLog4j-v2-for-beta4.zip, FastLog4j-v3-for-beta4.zip


 One of the main considerations for selecting a logging library is 
 performance, specifically, how long it takes for a call to Logger.log to 
 return. (See the comments of LOG4J-151 for a discussion of latency versus 
 application throughput and logging throughput.)
 I believe it is possible to improve this performance by an order of magnitude 
 by having an asynchronous Logger implementation that hands off the work to a 
 separate thread as early as possible. The disk I/O would be done in this 
 separate thread. 
 AsynchAppender is not a good match for these requirements, as with that 
 approach (a) the logging call still needs to flow down the hierarchy to the 
 appender, doing synchronization and creating objects at various points on the 
 way, and (b) when serializing the LogEvent, the getSource() method is always 
 called, which is expensive.
