All I could find is MS Enterprise Library Logging comparison between and
log4net (but more than 1 year old):
http://weblogs.asp.net/lorenh/archive/2005/02/18/376191.aspx

There is benchmark example part of log4net, but it only compares
different ways of logging.

What kind of tests could I do? I'm thinking of:
* how much time does an application take to start with and without
loading log4net?
* how much time does it takes to output x times to the console? to a
file? to an sqlite 3 database?

Let me know if these tests make sense to you, and what else I should try.
