Single CPU:

Max Children = 5

Dual:

Max Children = 8

(keep the box relaxed till you get the stuff to process)

Pls try:

Queue Scan Interval = 15

Max Unscanned Messages Per Scan = 5
Max Unsafe Messages Per Scan = 5

You may need to tweek "Queue Scan Interval" to your box's perfomance

my rule of thumb:

Queue Scan Interval = thread_count + 3

keep us posted
