that is really the point of a priority queue, to starve out low priority messages in favor of higher priority. There is currently no way to tell amq; "every now and again let some lower priority messages through". It begs lots of questions and it would be quite complex to achieve :-)
Priority support can be enabled on a per destination basis, so it need not be respected if you don't want it.
