[rabbitmq-discuss] Message wait time in a queue

[rasadoll]

Thanks Jerry,
Your direction would help us to partially address our problem, but we
are still interested about the wait time to further optimize our
system. We know the time to process and ack a message but we don't
know how long it took to start its processing.

Thanks,
