RabbitMQ is probably doing persistence on those messages. I think you need to set the message priority or another option in messages to not do persistence. Performance will improve 10x then.
You should expect at least 100K messages/second through an AMQP broker. In OpenAMQ we got performance up to 300K messages/second.
Hmm, of course ZeroMQ will be faster, it is designed to be and does not have a lot of the broker based functionality that the other two provide. The ZeroMQ site has a wonderful comparison of broker vs brokerless messaging and drawbacks & advantages of both.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
