LOL; I might use that as a sig ;-)
Here's a metric I use all the time; with 'Log Speed = yes' take the
batch time e.g.
Batch (10 messages) processed in 31.83 seconds
And divide the number of seconds by the number of messages e.g. 31.83/10
= 3.183 to give you the average number of seconds per message. If the
resultant number is >10 then you have a problem somewhere that you need
to track down.

Steve.
