>>"Except for big messages, RabbitMQ seems to be the best bet as it outperforms others by a factor of 3."

RabbitMQ? Does the OP mean to say ZeroMQ?

ZeroMQ leads every benchmark in the blog.

True, but it's in-memory only (there was no persistence with ZeroMQ in the given setup).

Then why even test ZeroMQ then?

If you plan to setup a benchmark test, and then decide to throw out the results (winner/ZeroMQ) because it doesn't produce the desired outcome you wanted ... then this benchmark is a joke to begin with.

Because ZeroMQ is cool. Just look at all the buzz it gets on HN.

He did say ZeroMQ broker outperforms all others. This means that unless you have a need for complex broker features, ZeroMQ is a perfect message dispatcher among processes.
