[zeromq-dev] debugging performance problems

[Andrew Hume]

how can i tell if it was hit?

generally, the process links don't have hwm set, but some do.
is your advice to set them on all links?

That said, have you tried lowering the HWM to a minimum value, and collecting statistics on how often that is hit? If you're experiencing congestion at a certain point, the queue size should grow beyond the minimums fairly quickly I would guess.
