I understand that you guys needs something small and tractable that you can put in your pocket, take back to the shop, and roll into the libraries. I'll do my best!
I really feel that the BIG PICTURE question I want to answer can't be boiled down to a unit test so easily, though. The Question: "Is ZeroMQ suitable for use in real-time and just-in-time systems?" I think my approach, up to and including the test scripts I've sent, is pretty reasonable and I hope you'll have a look at it when you can. It has identified at least one use-case -- PUB/SUB fan-in -- in which the answer seems to be "no." I am open to suggestions about how to turn those BIG PICTURE results into a constructive contribution to the project.
