Ah yes - now that explains it. I had misunderstood the test and assumed 
that it always received the same number of messages that the producer(s) 
sent, but  fully reading through the code I now see that it calculates 
only based on the fixed time interval, and that of course can lead to 
queue-up if the rates are not symmetric. Using the -r flag works fine and 
keeps the broker steady.

Thanks!
