Should be similar. Roughly speaking, determining the caller will double the cost 
of each written log. On some systems, it factor can be much higher. As I 
mentioned previously, logback can determine the caller of the caller (of the 
caller, of the caller, etc) whereas jul can only determine the immediate caller.
