RabbitMQ is already pre-configured with a larger IO thread pool, so I 
doubt the above will make a difference.

The warning message is indicative of a very high rate of AMQP resource 
configuration operations, e.g. creation/deletion of exchanges, queues 
and bindings. Is that what you'd expect to see from your tests?

The message doesn't actually indicate an error. If the high transaction 
rate is just a peak and subsequently subsides then everything ought to 
be fine. So if your tests hang that is likely for a different reason.
