Pushing lots of data through rabbit shouldn't be a problem; it's when 
rabbit has to *buffer/store* lots of data - because either there are no 
consumers or they are too slow - that memory consumption becomes an issue.

Try http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/part_frame.html

Note that RabbitMQ only stores routing and configuration information in 
mnesia. Messages are stored separately, using custom code.
