> We can (maybe) optimise the threading model for network consumers: since we 
> generally process very small messages (200 bytes not at all implausible), the 
> thread signalling costs on the processing thread can actually dramatically 
> impede throughput. In general it costs ~10micros to signal (and passing the 
> message to another thread for processing in the current model requires 
> signalling). For 200-byte messages this caps our throughput at 20MB/s.
