hmm..okay. I ran the test on two very different systems (dual-core Windows
laptop and rusty single-core Linux box) and both showed essentially the
same numbers, which made me curious. I still had the results from the
previous runs back when we found the Nagle bug, and those were on the
order of 280,320,500us with a Nagle-disabled 1.4 rabbit.

No, rabbit 1.4.0 won't run anymore since I upgraded to erlang 12.2.5 on
all machines and can't reinstall right now. Maybe someone with an older
erlang release can give it a try? Would be interesting to see if it is
reproducible.
