Subject: Re: Fast portable storage for queues

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the continued interest and work on stompserver, I am on my
way home and will be helping out soon. I will give a big thumbs up to
using the file system. It is actually where I was planning on going,
but used Madeleine because it was faster to get started.

Another approach that I am planning on investigating is on using mmap
(based on a discussion and idea I while talking with Daniel Berger at
RubyConf) to provide a circular queue space -- this should be very
efficient and simple enough to implement -- until the allocated queue
is full. Then special logic and handling or an expensive resize would
be required.
