Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-982:
-------------------------------------

I'm OK with the idea of this patch based on the links in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-982?focusedCommentId=14375141&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14375141

Would you be willing to re-create the patch for the current Git master as the it no longer applies cleanly.

I would also like to see the kind of improvement mentioned in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1048 integrated.

Thank you,
Gary

> Unlike {{System.currentTimeMillis()}}, which can jump/slew forward and backwards, {{System.nanoTime()}} is a monotonic clock (at least it should be) and hence it should be used to measure time intervals (timeouts/delays/etc).
