What does your publishing code look like? The figures below are expected in that the consumer can keep pace with the producer - it could hardly be expected to consume faster than messages are arriving in the queue(s). So the slowness is very likely on the producing side.
Are you using persistent messages and either publisher confirms or transactions? If so, how often are you waiting on confirms/commits? With the official clients we typically see avg rates of 50 - 60Khz with non-persistent messages. Persistence slows things down a tad, as do confirms (and more so transactions) but even with persistent messages and confirms, rates >= 5Khz are expected. It /sounds/ like you might be publishing persistent messages with confirms enabled and waiting for a confirm (ack) from the broker for each message. That involves disk I/O on the server for each message plus network latency, effectively making publishing synchronous (and very slow by comparison).
