What performance numbers did you see? For reference you can check the following tests that were also run on the same machine as the broker: https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/INTRODUCTION.md#performance-numbers
Do they correspond to your numbers? Consumer thruput is not included in that document but typically peaks at around 3 million msgs/s when run on the same host and with hot disk caches.
