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

[Sébastien Pennec]

Hello Karl,

The performance problem was clearly seen during the refresh of the  
view. When I sent many logs to the view, they were appearing slowly,  
and the redraw of the view was taking ages… I cannot give you precise  
numbers, because the speed of the refresh was obviously too slow.
