Absolutely, it's dangerous to play with profilers :)
But in this case it might be a simple solution, and we're speaking
about an overall 4% CPU time overall, and benefitting all projects
using JBoss Logger not just Infinispan. So that might be worth it..
but as mentioned I don't intend to spend "official" time on it because
I do fundamentally agree.
