WMQ v7.5 Performance Improvements

What’s new in WebSphere MQ v7.5:
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/websphere/subscriptionandsupport/compare-mq-versions.html

The interesting part is under “Performance Points of MQ v7.5 vs. MQ v7.1”:

Message throughput increase:
– 40% on AIX, 80% on Linux, 100% on Windows for persistent messages
– 30% on AIX, and between 40-100% on Linux for non-persistent messages (2KB)
– 500% performance improvement for multi-subscriber message delivery

Did someone learn a new programming trick or was there some “not so great code” because those are impressive numbers.

MQ v7.5 on Unix and Windows can support multiple installations on a single OS image

I thought that feature was introduced in WMQ v7.1.
