There were 1000 iop/s and 8MB/s. Yup, that sounds like it was doing lots of small random IOs and hence was IO bound... > But i can reduce the tasks done in parallel if this is the problem. Try and find out what the average IO times were when the messages are being emitted. If that's up in the seconds, then it's a good chance you are simply throwing too many small IOs at your storage.
