Re: [boost] boost.log's text_multifile_backend is not performant on windows - perhaps it should be documented?

Unfortunately, the performance when using text_multifile_backend on windows is really bad, because the repeated file close operations (one per log record) are unusually slow on windows. Repeatedly logging a string to the same file via text_multifile_backend results in throughput of about 200 log entries per second.

That's probably a Windows Defender (or another antivirus) "feature". Not that this helps.

It does help. Nicholas, could you verify this by adding the directory where log files are written to the excluded ones in the AV software you have? Or by temporarily disabling the software?
