> Threads seem to be blocking on class org.apache​.loggin.lo​g4j.core.p​attern.Dat​ePatternCo​nverter. It's short lived but is visible in profiler. It also is adding on to CPU. Here is the mail conversation on the mailing list:

> The converter uses a SimpleDateFormat which is not thread safe and so is synchronized. I am sure there might be minor optimizations that could be done to this
>  What I would do is modify DatePatternConverter to
>  a) use Java 8’s java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter if running on Java 8
>  b) use Joda Time’s DateTimeFormat if it is present.
>  c) create a pool of SimpleDateFormat objects and use those.
>  Please create a Jira issue for this.

> One alternative that  was suggested on the mailing list is to use commons lang FastDateFormat to format log timestamps.
