I've recently started to explore sbroker[1] as an alternative (in some
cases) and I've been getting very interesting results.

Then again it's also (IIRC) backed by single processes that might become a
bottleneck themselves, but at least those processes aren't doing anything
else. Also, because it's this big toolkit with a lot of bells and whistles,
it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot if you're not already acquainted
with some of the abstractions, and so there might be somewhat of a learning
curve.
