Hi,
This is really trivial. Not all messages coming at the same second into the
global retry queue.
Then if we sleep for a long time then we have more messages to send.
Got it?
Thanks,
Alexander Malysh
P.S. I don't think it should be documented in the userguide because it just
implementation detail.
