[rabbitmq-discuss] Optimizing RabbitMQ

Tue Nov 20 12:46:08 GMT 2012

Are you also using amqp-node? I wonder whether that clients disables 
Nagle - I grepped for "setNoDelay" [1] in the source and couldn't find 
it, but I am not exactly a node.js expert.

Certainly a latency of 40ms is very high; RabbitMQ can routinely get < 
1ms assuming a fast network.

Cheers, Simon
