[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ C library function amqp_simple_wait_frame takes 400 ms

Thu Jul 1 19:08:03 BST 2010

I had tried setting TCP_NODELAY before but did it this way:

setsockopt(socketFD, SOL_SOCKET, TCP_NODELAY, &one, sizeof(one));

and instead it needed to be done like this:

setsockopt(socketFD, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, &one, sizeof(one));

Yes, that's it.  Runs really fast now.  1.4294 milliseconds per round trip.
It seems like it would be
faster than that, but it's way better than 400ms and is sufficient for our
purposes.  I suppose it's
doing program context switches  If I bump into
any

Thanks for not reading the part of my post that said that I had already
tried this, and then posting the
correct version of the call.  :)    And as a bonus you don't have to be root
do to make the call, which
was also suspicious because you can do it in Java without being root.
