[zeromq-dev] Measuring Performance Publish & Subscribe

[Aaron Sokoloski]

Hi Sebastian,

Here are the questions I would ask if I were trying to figure this out:

Those numbers look to be about 11 seconds.  Are they correct?  When you run
the program and watch the log, do you see it pause for about that much time?
Does it have anything to do with deserialising the large protobuf?  If you
skip that step, or avoid protobuf entirely, does the problem disappear?
Are any messages getting dropped?  PUB/SUB can drop messages if the
receiver can't process them fast enough.  If a message got dropped, would
that explain the latency?  Are all the messages slow after that first slow
one, or does it go back to being quick?

Cheers,
Aaron
