[jira] Commented: (LOG4NET-83) Allow flushing into file every X milliseconds

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-83?page=comments#action_12423487 ] 
            
Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4NET-83:
--------------------------------------

When the application is ending and log4net is shutting down the appenders are flushed. A more general solution would be to write an appender that accepts a BufferedAppender (or more than one BufferedAppenders) and calls flush at the appropriate interval.

> In FileAppender you can specify either immediate flush on every message or not flushing at all.
> Immediate flushing reduces performance in 10% - 20%, but when flushing is skipped, then it is likely that the last few log events will not be recorded on disk when the application exits.
> I suggest adding a parameter that flushes to file every X millisecond. In this case you will gain most of the 10%-20% performance, and you will minimize the lost of logs when the application exits.
