I suspect you're probably limited by the speed of the AMQP parser in 
this case. Unfortunately the only thing you can really do to make it run 
faster is turn on HiPE compilation or buy a a faster machine. And HiPE 
compilation only works on Unix I'm afraid.

If you can afford to lose ordering guarantees you could push the 
messages through more than one connection / queue, and thus take 
advantage of more cores.
