be the reason for this?

I'm assuming you run a tad more messages than I, but on a quad with a
failover I have never seen the failover kick in 4 years. This is not
disputing your observations, just noting mine.
I claim absolutely no knowledge about the core processing/stacking
though I would assume (perhaps incorrectly)
have other free
cores to run different SA parallely why doesnt the throughput scale
linearly
.. I expect for 8 cores with 8 SA running simultaneously the number to be
150+ msgs/sec but it is 1/3rd at 50 msgs/sec
