no, simply because that wouldn't work as expected. Remember that a
queue runs async, so the modification would not get back to the
original message object.

I guess I already answered this ;) With a queue, message objects are
duplicated and never be injected back. that's the prime reason you
want a queue.

dequeuebatchsize has no effect in direct mode.

at most 100 (fewer if the batch doesn't get full).

queues always *cost* performance. If you need more concurrency, you
should adjust the main or ruleset queue accordingly.
