I'm not sure I understand. But what I was trying to say is that the 
different exchange types scale differently with different numbers of 
bindings - fanout and direct are very fast, topic is fast (post 2.4.0), 
and headers is slow.

Worrying about this in advance may be a case of micro-optimisation though...
