Yes, the several branched routes crossed processes.
Most of the additions where in processes outside of the processes with branches. I believe there was one branch route added to the processes with the branch.
No queues were indicated by CL. The only place we could see the messages was in the Recovery DB.
The most puzzling part, of this to me, is that the message volume, number of processes and threads stayed exactly the same. All I did was convert the branched route to individual routes and the latency problems went away, returning to .5 seconds or less.
