You sound very happy with Spread -- no complaints? We had nothing but trouble with it ourselves.
This was Spread 3.x somewhere around 2008, so it may have improved since then, but at that time it just seemed very flaky and slow. This was in a cluster of about 8 nodes, with 100-200 messages/second published by any given node at peak, so it should have been more than adequate.
The worst part was that it was silently losing messages, and there seemed to be no trivial way to recover, get statistics/queue information, or generally determine what was going wrong.
