That is a very good point. No point having a broker that spews millions of msg per sec and then die in a couple of hours or is unpredictable under different situations. In a production environment, what customers are looking is for "predictable behaviour", not nessacerily the fastest. If somebody throws our broker into production and then have to cross their fingers then we will soon be forgotten. We need to ensure that our broker has consistent behaviour under increased loads, scalable and reliable.
