If you set the basic.qos prefetch to 1 then consuming will be no faster 
than basic.get. By setting a higher value - tuned to the network latency 
and consumer processing time - one can ensure that a consumer neither 
has to wait for the broker (as it would with a too low prefetch 
settings) nor buffer lots of messages (as it would with a too high 
prefetch settings).
