It was clear enough before. The answer is that this is not possible. The queue is file-based by design. The queue design is performant for deferred queues up to a few hundred thousand messages. Beyond that, indeed you will have problems, but then the real question is why does your deferred queue have 100k+ messages? So if you want help, get help with keeping your incoming queue nearly empty, your active queue at a few hundreds messages, and your deferred queue at less than a few thousand messages. -- Viktor.
