Gordon, Your absolutely correct - I should be more patient!
As you described it is actually only slower for the first few messages - then it speeds up dramatically. Very strange! Linux version is: Ubuntu 8.04 and MAC OSX Leopard Ruby version is: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux] Are there any rubydocs (or dare I say more examples) for the QPID client - Now that I'm confident it's fairly stable I need to learn and do more with it. Thanks for your help.

What I see when running your code with 10,000 msgs is that the time between the print statements is noticeably slow for the first 15 or so messages, then its starts running through much faster. Don't have an explanation for that. I see the same sort of thing with openamq, and qpid java/c++ (M2.1 - not trunk). What platform are you running on? And what version of ruby? Does the rate of messages remain slow for you right up to 10000?
