Note that as of RabbitMQ 3.0 the heartbeat interval can be controlled 
server-side - see the 'heartbeat' config item at 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#config-items. However, some 
clients do not implement the AMQP spec correctly and ignore the server's 
suggestion. I don't know whether ruby-amqp is one of them.
