I replied to the issue - there's an outstanding big PR (#7), and after
that's merged, I planned to help eisensheng to move it to pytest-dev
;)

Unfortunately, the PR also changes the API (for good reasons...), but
I already answered there that there should be a compatibility layer.

As I said there, I'm actually not sure if it should be merged, or at
least not yet - it's finally starting to have some bugfixes and
features compared to capturelog, and I plan to contribute some more
stuff I need when I switched over (which will be when that PR is
merged). Having an independent plugin release cycle has its benefits,
after all...

FWIW, I never noticed any performance issues with both catch- and
capturelog.
