fair enough, let me come back with some numbers :), I just wanted to first make sure I'm not doing something brain dead :). <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 8:51 PM, Chuck Remes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cremes.devlist@mac.com">cremes.devlist@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>Give us some idea of the data rates you are expecting. I regularly<br>
publish 3000+ messages/second using ruby which isn't exactly known for<br>
its performance. :) Latency is a millisecond or so for topic<br>
exchanges, and under 1 millisecond for direct and fanout exchanges.<br>
(Exchange type matters due to matching overhead.)<br>
<br>
However, since you say that all processing is synchronous, the length<br>
of time to complete that process will be your gating factor.<br>
