[logback-dev] improving Logback Console Plugin with Table instead of List

[Sébastien Pennec]

Hello Karl and Maarten,

It's great to see that you both are interested in improving the  
console plugin!

Using a Table has been the first thing that I tried when I began  
writing the plugin, and I had a big performance issue. It was much  
slower than a simple console view.

Do you think that we can code a plugin that uses a Table and that is  
as fast as a console to display logging events? As you might imagine,  
performance is a priority, since the plugin needs to display events  
even when they are recieved at a very fast pace. My goal was to be as  
fast as the console view.

Maarten, thanks for the link to Vigilog, I'll take a look at it soon.

Cheers,

Sébastien
