Stephen Connolly created LOGBACK-1279: ----------------------------------------- Summary: Async appenders do not scale well across multiple threads Key: LOGBACK-1279 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1279 Project: logback Issue Type: Bug Components: logback-classic Affects Versions: 1.2.1 Reporter: Stephen Connolly Assignee: Logback dev list Attachments: image-2017-03-13-12-10-55-553.png When running some benchmarking (specifically [https://github.com/stephenc/java-logging-benchmarks/blob/master/log4j-fmt/lo...] - at time of issue creation @ceki has access to repo, but repo is due to become public soon) I noticed that the Async appender does not scale well when the number of threads increases. In fact the Async appender - which to my understanding is designed to help provide a more consistent latency under multiple threads - has dire performance when the number of threads increase, e.g. !image-2017-03-13-12-10-55-553.png! The above results show that Log4J with an async appender has a profile very similar to that of both Logback and Log4J with a non-asynchronous appender. Logback's asynchronous appender performance gets progressively worse and approximates the performance of Java Utils Logging above 16 threads on the test system -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.3.1#73012)
