Well, in my experience the fastest way to get messages is through
subscribe/deliver. That can have your desired side-effect of keeping the
queue clear if you can process the messages quickly enough.

It doesn't address your immediate question, though. Sorry.

On further thought, I guess you can mimic a getall approach by having a
consumer do the buffering for you. So, provide a client that subscribes to
the queue and buffers all the delivered messages. Your current end client
then uses whatever interface your intermediate one supplies to get all
currently buffered messages.
