What do you mean by "mirrored"? Presumably not rabbit's active-active HA 
queue mirroring, since that only became available in 2.6.0 and you are 
running 2.5.1.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the slow-down isn't just due to 
there being no more messages in the queue, right? Are you seeing a 
backlog build up? If so, is the server busy?
