1. I am interested in capabilities/limits of ActiveMQ. Is there a published report that give ActiveMQ performance numbers? Example: Messages per second as a function of message size?

2. If I wanted to do my own ActiveMQ performance test is there a standard JMS (activeMQ) load/stress test tool/software out there? Of course I can write one myself for the N ^th time. So does anyone know of a tool that does JMS  load/stress testing?

Some example test parameter I am interested in:

   1. Large number of topics

   2. High bandwidth producers

   3. n=2,3 broker forwarding

   4. Large number of consumers

   5. Messages size

   6. Measured latencies

   7. Missed messages

   8. VM vs TCP transport effect

   9. Persistence .vs. non-Persistence

  10. Topic .vs. Queue.

Thanks,

Peter.
