There is another problem:   The broker's memory usage grew from 6.2GB to 10 GB 1 hour after the consumers were started.
This caused swapping and the consume rate dropped from 30 MB/sec to less than 10 MB/sec.  I think the broker only throttles the publisher when the mem high water mark is reached, but the consumers can still increase the broker's mem usage?
if this cannot be avoided, we have to increase the RAM to 16GB.

thanks.
