Also note that Sun excepted my bug report on this issue. See http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6855216
I see that it is registered as a wontfix bug and linked to http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4985566 which says that "The JVM does not entirely isolate java threads from the scheduling properites of the underlying operating system." and that you should use the concurrent utils instead. I have not followed this closely, but is that an option?
Your request for fair locking in appenders is not unreasonable. However, it will cause a measurable slow down in a large number of cases. It also feels like fixing the JVM. So, I need more evidence before going down the path of fair locking. If the conclusion is that "it depends" how to do this right, perhaps it should be configurable?
