Description

We switched to the version 1.2.15 in our production system and figured out a general increase. After a long analysis we have figured out that log4net uses more cpu compared to the version 1.2.11.0

config:

<configSections>
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />

</log4net>

C# code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure();

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
Thread worker = new Thread(() =>
{
while (true)

{ Log.Debug(" This is the debug message!"); Log.Error(" This is the error message!"); Log.Info(" This is the info message!"); Log.Fatal(" This is the fatal message!"); Log.Warn(" This is the warning message!"); Thread.Sleep(1000); }

});
worker.IsBackground = true;
worker.Start();
}

for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++)

{ Thread.Sleep(1000); }

return;

We had to return to the old version of the log4net dll.
