Remarks

If this attribute is set on a layout, it could be rendered on the another thread. This could be more efficient as it's skipped when not needed. If context like HttpContext.Current is needed, which is only available on the main thread, this attribute should not be applied. See the AsyncTargetWrapper and BufferTargetWrapper with the PrecalculateVolatileLayouts(LogEventInfo) , using Precalculate(LogEventInfo) Apply this attribute when: - The result can we rendered in another thread. Delaying this could be more efficient. And/Or, - The result should not be precalculated, for example the target sends some extra context information.
