The prefetch property is related to consumers; it shouldn't really

session only dispatches messages for any consumers in one single

How many messages are on the queue? Its quite common for consumers to
eagerly pull their entire prefetch window in aggressively (which under
low message volumes can lead to unfair distribution).
To go for fairer load balancing rather than high performance you can
use the round robin delivery policy...
