Are you saying the publishing rate fluctuates between 0 and 50kHz? Any 
idea why that is?

The above has nothing to do with memory but the computational complexity 
of working with the data structures involved. i.e. pending acks are 
recorded in a gb-tree, which has O(log(N)) insert/removal complexity.

That graph is somewhat less conclusive than the previous one; it shows 
fluctuation rather than a sudden drop.

Can you

(a) reduce your tests to the minimum setup that reproduces the issue? 
You seem to have a lot of connections, channels and queues that don't do 
very much; I suspect it's safe to remove those. And...

(b) post the code & instructions for us to reproduce the problem?
