The good news is that performance bottlenecks will get easier to 
diagnose in 3.3.0. The bad news is it's not out yet.

140kmsg/h is only 40msg/s - so you should not have any difficulty 
hitting that even on modest hardware. I assume the messages were 
persistent as well as mirrored, but unless the messages were both very 
large and persistent you should not have a problem there.

Was anything on the broker looking busy (CPU, disk?) Did any of the 
connections show a status of "flow"?

If the answer to those questions is "no" then could you be publishing 
(effectively) synchronously? Do you use mandatory publishing, publish 
inside transactions, or use confirms in a non-streaming way (i.e. 
publish, wait for confirm, repeat)?

Cheers, Simon
