Two questions/suggestions regarding your AMQ setup: 1) What is the average size (or range of sizes) of the actual message being sent from your producer? If you are dealing with larger messages you may wish to consider sending Blob Messages instead of putting the entire payload inside of the message itself - see http://activemq.apache.org/blob-messages.html for more detail. Determining what a "large" message is may vary, but once you start approaching 1MB you should definitely consider Blob Messages.
2) What is the network latency between your producer and your broker? If it is substantial enough to affect the speed at which you can produce a message and receive acknowledgement from the broker, you could use a Network of Brokers between your producer and consumer such that one AMQ instance lives on the same host or at least on the same subnet as your producer and that instance is responsible for forwarding messages to another AMQ instance that your consumer consumes from. See http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html for more.
