Rainer Klute commented on AMQ-1586:
-----------------------------------
To corrobate the description above with some numbers, I ran a test that did the
following:
* A producer sends 10,000 messages to a topic. This takes 7 seconds.
* A consumer registers as a durable subscriber and receives those 10,000
messages. This takes 6 seconds.
* Now 100 consumers register with the topic instead of just one. Each consumer
receives each message. How long should this take?
** Well, first I'd expect a factor of 100, because each message will be read
100 times from the topic.
** Then we will have some administrative overhead, so lets be very pessimistic
and add a factor of 2.
** Or, no, lets use 3 instead of 2, because we might have been exceptionally
lucky with the 6 seconds it took to receive the messages with one consumer.
: Following this calculation, I'd expect a runtime of at most '''6s * 100 * 3 =
1,800s''' (30 minutes).
However, instead of half an hour the test program ran '''5 hours and 18
minutes'''!
With ActiveMQ revision 629726 the situation has improved considerably. Instead
of 5 hours and 18 minutes the test took '''1 hour and 58 minutes'''. This a
considerable gain by a factor of 2,7! However, it still seems slow compared
with the worst-case expection of 30 minutes.

> Affects Versions: 5.1.0
> Reporter: Rainer Klute
>
> If many consumers are reading from a topic, the performance of the producer
> and the consumers drops tremendously. More on this in the forum discussion
