[rabbitmq-discuss] please help understanding why my pool of channels are blocking.

Hi Everyone,
I'm playing around with Rabbitmq(sorry for flooding the list lately) and am
having some weird problems in my tests. I have a multi-threaded
application that I was considering using rabbitmq to manage the queue but
I'm getting alot of blocking between my channels. Is there a preferred way
to setup pools?
I'm a bit new to Java so I used to the pools from apache commons but when I
profile the channels are all blocking each other. To test if dedicated
connections per thread worked better I made an example of it as well and it
does not block when the same program has a single channel per connection.
So my question, do channels block each other or am I doing something
wrong(using java api wrong or misunderstanding connection/channels)? Is
there a more preferred way? Unrelated to the question, but I was also
wondering is there any difference between channels and connections in terms
of throughput(i.e. would there be any benefit of using dedicated
connections ignoring the overhead in establishing/maintaining the
connection)?
Here's the test code(it simply sends to a thread a bunch of data to write
the queue). If it helps I'm using v2.7.1, installed from MacPorts):
import org.apache.commons.pool.BasePoolableObjectFactory;
import org.apache.commons.pool.ObjectPool;

final int numberOfThreads_ThreadPoolExecutor = 20;
executor_worker =
Executors.newFixedThreadPool(numberOfThreads_ThreadPoolExecutor);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("starting..");
ObjectPool<Channel> pool =
new GenericObjectPool<Channel>(
new ConnectionPoolableObjectFactory(), 50);
for (int x = 0; x<500000000; x++) {
executor_worker.submit(new MyRunnable(x, pool));
}
}
}
