In that spirit, mind you this was on my laptop (Python 2.7.2, RabbitMQ
3.0.0, Pika 0.9.8):

*send.py*

import pika
import time

ITERATIONS = 10000

connection = pika.BlockingConnection()
channel = connection.channel()
start_time = time.time()

for x in range(0, ITERATIONS):
    channel.basic_publish(exchange='test',
                          routing_key='test',
                          body='Are these characters slow? !@$%^&*!',

properties=pika.BasicProperties(content_type='text/plain',
                                                          app_id='test',

timestamp=int(time.time()),
                                                          delivery_mode=1))
duration = time.time() - start_time
print "Published %i messages in %.4f seconds (%.2f messages per second)" %
(ITERATIONS, duration, (ITERATIONS/duration))

*Output:*

Published 10000 messages in 9.3243 seconds (1072.47 messages per second)
