I have 48 Q's with 64 producers with a consumer for each Q. Each producer
sending a byte message (persistent) of approx 7K to each of the 48 Q's every
1.5 seconds. 

I see the producer hang and the consumer hang as AMQ CPU usage drops to 0
after 4 minutes. Using jconsole to monitor AMQ performance.

Any help most appreciated as to what may be happening.
Am I correct to assume that AMQ cannot handle the load?
Machine (RHEL v5) 2Core CPU, 4G RAM.

Look around the forums for similar problems and tried to adjust config
files.
Able to get it consistent if using the default store but with one horrible
side effect in that my producer may not be able to send a message for 2 to 3
seconds (must send every 1.5)

TIA,

T.
