Simple answer: no I haven't had a message sitting around for such a long time. Also, I must assume that the "enqueue time" is the time it took to put a message into the queue and not the actual time it spent in a queue, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Finally, I have a simple test as follows: 1. starting ActiveMQ 2. starting my test applicaiton writing about 1000 persistent messages into a queue - total duration less than a second 3. the same test application will read those 1000 messages from the queue - total duration less than a second 4. the overall enqueue/dequeue application was running for about 2 seconds but checking the statistics already shows enqueue times of about 15000 (in whatever unit that is). This "smells" like a bug to me. -Uli -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Statistics-Question-tp4676092p4676122.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
