I would reckon that 'slowing down' the transfer from disk to memory may be a way to go.

You could set a low (ish) prefetch count in your consumer so as to only bring 'n' messages off the disk at a time and then only ACK them (in batch mode or otherwise) when you're done with them, thereby slowing things down.

Cheers,
Tim
