How do I increase performance of FlowDocumentScrollViewer?

Question

In a previous question, I asked how to get real-time logging output in a WPF textbox-like element (WPF append text blocks UI thread heavily but WinForms doesn't?). The a

I execute the sample you've provided, apart from few threading issues the biggest issue is amount of data. which slows down the text rendering as the it grows.

I tried to rewrite your code in a different way. I used Tasks, BlockingCollection and Virtualization to improve the performance with assumptions that main interest of the application is logging speed.

        public BlockingCollection impErrors;
        public BlockingCollection logs;


        protected static Bridge controller = new Bridge();

        {
            get
