If your AMQP broker is slow, you're using the wrong broker. We do something like 1.2 million cluster durable messages per second through RHM on Intel SSDs. Once you add all the necessary stuff to your hacky ZeroMQ/Redis/beanstalkd implementation, you'll end up with a poorly designed implementation of a decent AMQP broker. If you don't need persistance, durability or clustering, then by all means, use whatever works for you.
