Performance/Memory Concerns
I have implemented my own logging strategy in an my applet which sends my log messages to a servlet that writes them to a file on the server. However I would also like to view these messages on the client side by useing Sytem.out.println(...) to put them in the Jave Plugin Console. I have the abbility to control the level of the logging from full off to full on and some step in beteween. My concern is that with logging full on there may be tens of thousands of messages printed to the Console in an hour of use which may impact performance or take up enough memory to cause more harm than good. Any thoughts? As a note logging would generally be turned off under normal operating conditions this would only be used by a maintainer to track down a problem.
