What I don't understand is how has that not solved it already? You've
already partitioned the servers into a fast incoming server that
immediately offloads all messages that cannot be immediately processed
onto slower back-end servers, and you've already got that fast incoming
server running its queue on a ram-disk. That seems like pretty much the
optimal solution for your requirements. What would you change?
