<div dir="ltr">Different platforms having different kernels and therefore different schedulers etc.<br><br>Redhat's plugging a product at the moment which contains some realtime changes to the Linux kernel and a customised version of QPid all together called Redhat MRG. Apparently you can get portions of this for CentOS 5 (RHEL 5 GPL clone)..<br>
<br>Without wholesale changing to another AMQP platform (this is the RabbitMQ mailing list after all), perhaps you need to look at kernel options open to you? Remember, that Apple control the hardware and the software, and therefore have a lot better idea of what they have to do with respect to tuning their kernels. Linux must deal with a greater hardware variety and therefore "out of the box" may not be optimal for everyone.<br>
<br>Incidentally, are you running the install of Linux on the same machine as Mac OS X?<br>Ie. Native boot, such as Bootcamp and not a virtualisation solution of some sort<br>Different hardware (various memory controllers, IO controllers, bridges yadda yadda) will return different results.<br>
<br>(Disclaimer: Before using anything like bootcamp, you should have a backup strategy in place - any kind of repartitioning of an existing datastore has a risk associated)<br>
