/**
The AsyncAppender lets users log events asynchronously. It uses a
bounded buffer to store logging events.
<p>The AsyncAppender will collect the events sent to it and then
dispatch them to all the appenders that are attached to it. You can
attach multiple appenders to an AsyncAppender.
<p>The AsyncAppender uses a separate thread to serve the events in
its bounded buffer.
<p>Refer to the results in {@link org.apache.log4j.performance.Logging}
for the impact of using this appender.
<p><b>Important note:</b> The <code>AsyncAppender</code> can only
be script configured using the {@link
org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator}.
