    Description

      ProducerPerformance.scala (There are two of these, one used by the shell script and one used by the system tests. Both exhibit this problem)
      creates messags from empty byte arrays.

      This is likely to provide unrealistically fast compression and hence unrealistically fast results.

      Suggest randomised bytes or more realistic sample messages are used.

      Thanks to Prabhjot Bharaj for reporting this.
