Thank you for your reply, I'll just refer you to the "About<http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/index.html>" page of log4j. Apart from improved performance one new feature is automatic reloading of the configuration without loss of log events. Also my existing application uses log4j2 to log to various appenders and I don't want to downgrade to log4j 1.x.
