log performance overhead?

[jova73]

Hi,
do you know if the log on the console (or however on server.log) is an overhead on the overall performance?
I've the impression than my application (which logs a lot) is stuck until all the log is printed.

Isn't log asynchronous in JBoss??

Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Andrea

The logging system in JBoss uses log4j. You can configure any of the available log appenders (including asynchronous one -- if you open the configuration file there's even an example of this already provided for you) or write your own.

Anything that logs to a console on a Windows system slows you down.
