[logback-user] SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy + RollingFileAppender bizarrely slow in certain cases on Windows

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your last two posts.

The small ShowLogSlowness.java stand alone java application makes it 
easy to understand the problem. I found it very helpful.

As a wise man once said,  "It's always the anti-virus." :-)

Glad the problem has been diagnosed properly. Nice work.

Cheers,
