Performance Comparison

UPDATE: For the benchmark visualization for the latest data (2022.07.08): https://jmh.morethan.io/?source=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/outr/scribe/master/work/benchmark/2022.07.08.benchmarks.json

UPDATED: 2.6.0 Release (2018.08.27), Scribe is just shy of four times faster than Log4J 2 (2.11.1) UPDATED: As of 2.3.3, Scribe is roughly three times faster than Log4J 2 (2.11.0)

Scribe is now the fastest logging framework in existence. Here is a chart comparing Log4J 2, Scala Logging, and Scribe:

Scribe synchronously averages over 2.1 million logged records per second single-threaded. Log4J, on the other hand, maxes out at roughly 587 thousand per second.

In addition, to see the graph over time:

To clarify what we mean by "trace", this includes trace details for the class, method, and line numbers in each log record.
