NServiceBus 4.03 Distributor puts 30 messages into storage queue for one message in the control queue

Question

When the worker starts it drops a message into the control q and then when i start the distributor, it picks up the message from Control Q and puts 30 messages into the storage q. Any clue why???

Answer 1

It's likely that the worker reported it had 30 free threads and the msmq storage implementation for worker availability in the distributor stores each of those as a single message.
