I get approximately that performance (4000 messages/s) on 64-bit Windows 7, with v2.7.1 of the RabbitMQ broker running R15B of Erlang, using the loopback network interface, running on a 2.80GHz Xeon with memory bus running at<div>

I'm trying a small test now where I have one producer<br>
and one consumer on a queue. �Running in Release mode<br>
C++ (no debugging), I seem to top out around 3,700<br>
messages/second.<br>
<br>
Is that about what I should expect, or am I doing<br>
something wrong? �I thought it should be higher.<br>
<br>
I can believe (but have not yet profiled it) that I'm<br>
losing throughput because of all the std::strings and<br>
shared_ptrs. �If that's the case, I think that's just<br>
the price I will have to pay for C++, unless I want<br>
to drop down to using the underlying rabbitmq_c library.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Here's the guts of the producer:<br>
<br>
� � � �using namespace AmqpClient;<br>
� � � �Channel::ptr_t channel;<br>
� � � �channel = Channel::Create();<br>
<br>
� � � �channel->DeclareQueue("BasicReturnTestQueue", false, false, false, true);<br>
<br>
� � � �const std::string constant ("foo");<br>
� � � �try � � {<br>
� � � � � � � �for (int i = 0; i < nmsgs; ++i) {<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � �BasicMessage::ptr_t the_message = BasicMessage::Create(constant);<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � �channel->BasicPublish("", "BasicReturnTestQueue", the_message, true,<br>
false);<br>
� � � � � � � �}<br>
� � � � � � � �BasicMessage::ptr_t the_message = BasicMessage::Create("quit");<br>
� � � � � � � �channel->BasicPublish("", "BasicReturnTestQueue", the_message, true,<br>
false);<br>
� � � �}<br>
� � � �catch (MessageReturnedException& e) {<br>
� � � � � � � �std::cout << "Message got returned: " << e.what();<br>
� � � � � � � �std::cout << "\nMessage body: " << e.message()->Body();<br>
� � � �}<br>
<br>
<br>
And here's the consumer:<br>
<br>
� � � �using namespace AmqpClient;<br>
� � � �Channel::ptr_t channel;<br>
� � � �channel = Channel::Create();<br>
<br>
� � � �channel->DeclareQueue("BasicReturnTestQueue", false, false, false, true);<br>
� � � �channel->BasicConsume("BasicReturnTestQueue", "consumer_tag1", true,<br>
true, true, 10);<br>
<br>
<br>
� � � �try {<br>
� � � � � � � �while (1) {<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � �Envelope::ptr_t env;<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � �if (channel->BasicConsumeMessage("consumer_tag1", env, 0)) {<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �std::string msg = env->Message ()->Body ();<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �if (msg == "quit") {<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �return;<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �}<br>
� � � � � � � � � � � �}<br>
� � � � � � � �}<br>
� � � �}<br>
� � � �catch (MessageReturnedException& e)<br>
� � � �{<br>
� � � � � � � �std::cout << "Message got returned: " << e.what();<br>
� � � � � � � �std::cout << "\nMessage body: " << e.message()->Body();<br>
� � � �}<br>
