The server process does get busy, up to about 80% of the available cpu. 
It uses all of the available memory, and crashes shortly after. (Shouldn't 
it be pinning the queues to disk automatically, or do i need to use 21444 
for that...?)

The server never recovers, even if I kill all producers and most 
consumers,  although the beam.smp process hangs on to all 
the memory. I'm playing with 21444 now to see if i can replicate this.
