Thorbjoern, Which data point in logging event are you talking about? Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen wrote:

The prepareForDeferredProcessing() method in the LoggingEvent class addresses that problem. Whenever a logging event is about to be serialized or transferred to another thread, you, as an author of an appender, are supposed to call loggingEvent.prepareForDeferredProcessing().
I think that it would be appropriate to provide a flush mechanism on an appender (in lack of a better word) which is accessible through the configuration or pattern or code.
The flush mechanism would immediately run the String-flattening of the arguments making them safe from all these issues. If NOT invoked, the flattening would happen as lazily as possible.
I believe this behaviour should be explicitly enabled, keeping the default of immediately Stringifying when the event has been accepted for logging.
