Justin, Thanks for your response!
Just a moment ago our infrastructure-guy told us that the cause is likely in the network between the nodes. I have good hope that this is true because it is consistent with most/all symptoms.

Yes; and the intention is that both "sides" of the cluster can grow as needed. But we first reduced our problem to just 2 nodes in total to make analysis easier. To give a tiny bit of context: The "left" side behaves as DMZ. The "right" side is the normal/internal part. The user-list, group-list and address-permissions on each side are also a bit different.

With performance testing the devil is in the details as they say. It would be ideal to have something to run which would reproduce the (relative) numbers you're seeing. Could you drop a project on GitHub or something to this end? At the very least can you elaborate on your test setup? When you say that "producer and consumer are each on a separate cluster-node" do you mean that there is one cluster node with a consumer and another cluster node with a producer and messages are flowing from the producer to its cluster node and then to the other cluster node and ultimately to the consumer? If so, I would expect a sizable performance drop.
