Description

The broker's memory overhead per message in a queue with default options is approximately 1 to 1.5 Kb. For applications that use small messages, this overhead can be quite significant when storing a lot of them. Considering all of the MessageProperties and DeliveryProperties only consume around 100 bytes, there should be a way to decrease the memory overhead per message significantly.
