What happens when you run the above test with both nodes on the same<br>
machine?<br>
<br>
The result is almost the same: Fluctuating between 10 and 23KHZ<br>

Thanks for running all these tests. I've reproduced your observations.<br>
<br>
What we are seeing here is, at least partially, an issue with the Erlang scheduler.<br>
<br>
I noticed that when running the test with PerfTest, single producer, single consumer, two nodes, the consuming node was using 100% CPU, i.e. the equivalent of a single core. That is usually an indication of an Erlang scheduler issue since there is an appreciable degree of parallelism that should be exploitable.<br>
<br>
For this particular test I managed to double performance by supplying the "+swt very_low" or "+sfwi 1" flags to Erlang via RABBITMQ_SERVER_ERL_ARGS.<br>
<br>
So these flags, plus the other +s... flags of the Erlang VM, are worth playing with.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
