Depending on the number of messages, it could be the constant fsync()
that slows it down.  Try my fakesync library with LD_PRELOAD and perform
a test migration; I'd like to know if it makes a difference, because I
haven't had chance to test it much.  Obviously, you really only want to
run this during testing or migration, because it would make normal
operation considerably less reliable.
