[logback-dev] SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy is not effecient enough because of using File.length() to check the active file size

[Tom Liu]

Hi logback-dev,

Thanks for bringing up logback 0.9.17. There are some new features
we've desired for.

It looks like SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy is not effecient enough
because of using File.length() to check the active file size. And we
think logback could improve this component to minimize the overhead.

The jira ticket is here, which also includes a performance testing
result for SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy.

Thanks,
Tom
