So is that 90 mess/sec * 30 filters = 2700 msg/sec total?  With topics
we typically see performance in the order of 1000's of messages/sec.
Are you CPU constrained or IO?

I would upgrade to the listed at latest

Splitting the topics sometimes helps.. You can also decrease CPU usage
by avoiding marshalling by using the vm:// transport.
