Hi,

In my application using the current trunk version, I was finding that my queue subscriptions had huge pending message cursors sizes (> 70,000 and growing) - essentially they were equal to enqueueCounter - dispatchCounter which I could see from JMX.

It seems like a simple optimisation could be to remove a node from the cursor if has been dropped when we call dispatchPending(). This made a gigantic difference in speed, since the broker wasn't iterating over a huge number of dropped messages, and locks were held for a shorter period of time. Not to mention, less memory and CPU will be consumed by the broker.

Here is the patch below - I don't know if it is safe in general, but it seemed to work fine for me.

Cheers,
David
