OK, I'll have a look into that.

As side issue, can you be more specific about what part of the process
is actually taking 20 mins?

I assume from your output that the 20 min wait is for the recovery
phase. During this phase, all of the durable exchanges and queues are
recovered. Do you know how many of each do you have? Also, did you
intend to have so many durable objects, bearing in mind the cost of
maintaining them?
