1000 topics with a prefetch of 100 is 100,000 pending messages in memory.
To get real eager discarding try:
<policyEntry topic=">" topicPrefetch="1" >
<subscriptionRecoveryPolicy>
<lastImageSubscriptionRecoveryPolicy/>
</subscriptionRecoveryPolicy>
<pendingMessageLimitStrategy>
<constantPendingMessageLimitStrategy limit="0"/>
</pendingMessageLimitStrategy>
...
so that it won't keep any messages pending when the consumer is not ready
to consume. this will reduce the dispatch work load on the topic and ensure
fast consumer get all messages while slow consumers get gaps.
The lastImageSubscriptionRecoveryPolicy is only for retroactive
returning/new consumers, the get the current last state when the connect.
