[rabbitmq-discuss] Memory usage

[Hagbard at gmx.de]

Hi,
im new to RabbitMQ and i have a question about the memory usage of RabbitMQ. I read that since RabbitMQ 2.x i don't need to care about fast producers and slow consumers and so don't need to care about the amount of messages in a queue and memory usage. After a test yesterday with 2GB memory and 4M messages in a queue (no consumer) RabbitMQ reached high memory watermark and stopped. Can somebody explain that behaviour?

Thanks a lot
Hagbard
