It is certainly possible to perform high-volume concurrent event 
processing with RabbitMQ, but coming up with the best setup requires a 
better understanding of your specific requirements.

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish? How many event 
producers are there? How many event consumers are there? What routing do 
you need between them? What delivery guarantees do you require? What 
ordering guarantees do you require? What AMQP client libraries are you 
using (e.g. RabbitMQ's Java client, the Erlang client etc)?
