title: lmax RingBuffer with log4j takes up a lot of memory
body: <p>I'm running a Tomcat web application in debug mode and, looking through the biggest objects with YourKit profiler, I see that by far the largest is a single instance of <code>com.lmax.disruptor.RingBuffer</code>. I assume this has something with log4j, which uses <code>RingBuffer</code> internally to report asynchronously. Is there any way I can reduce the memory footprint of this object? Why is it so large?</p>
