Evaluation and Comparison of different logging Systems

Based on mantis ID 62 this article contains a report of a comparison of three different logging systems in order to preprae a relevant developement decision. The three different systems are:

1. The openpetra internal logging system called TLogging
2. The Log4Net system from Apache
3. The nLog system

In the very first step only the documentation is refered because this has led to a predecison against nLog. In the next step some log4net benchmarks has been done in order to get some experience with log4net.
