Hi there bwatrous,

Your average sent time for the problematic RUN 1 (40ms) indicates that your
problem is most probably caused by the bad Nagle's algorithm / Delayed ACK
timeout interaction. This timeout is 40ms in Linux and 200ms in Windows /
other systems.

In short, the solution is to enable TCP_NODELAY flag on all your sockets.
-This is possible in the ActiveMQ CPP client since version 2.0.1. You should
append tcpNoDelay=true to the connection URL.
-On the broker's side, you should enable the TCP_NODELAY flag in the
broker's sockets. For this, following the documentation, you should append
'wireFormat.tcpNoDelayEnabled=true' to your connector's URI.
In fact, this doesn't work and it is silently ignored. I discovered that
'socket.tcpNoDelay=true' works if you append it to an ActiveMQ Java CLIENT's
connection URI; but it still doesn't work for a BROKER's connector URI.
So, the only solution is to go to the broker's source code
(org.apache.activemq.transport.tcp.TcpTransport.initialiseSocket method) and
add the following line of Java code:
--->          sock.setTcpNoDelay(true);         <---
at the end of the method, so that all broker's sockets are created with
TCP_NODELAY=true by default.

The parsing of options in a broker's activemq.xml connector URI is broken
right now, and it sadly doesn't seem to be a priority that this is fixed for
next releases.
So, I wonder how many folks encounter this '40 ms' problem, and when they
finally guess that the solution is the TCP_NODELAY flag (not so easy), they
try it and think it was not the right solution because
'wireFormat.tcpNoDelayEnabled=true' or 'tcpNoDelay=true' or
'socket.tcpNoDelay=true' get all silently ignored (no error message, but no
effect on the sockets). Probably lots of frustration and lost hours... :(
