0mq：发布订阅延迟随消息不断增长？

Question

pub.py

import zmq
import random
import sys
import time

port = "5556"
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    port =  sys.argv[1]
    int(port)

context = zmq.Context()
socket = context.socket(zmq.PUB)
socket.bind("tcp://*:%s" % port)

topic = 10001
while True:
    msgdata = time.time()
    socket.send("%d %d" % (topic, msgdata))
    print "topic:%d, msg:%.5f" % (topic, msgdata)
    time.sleep(1)

sub.py

import sys
import zmq
import time

port = "5556"
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    port =  sys.argv[1]
    int(port)

if len(sys.argv) > 2:
    port1 =  sys.argv[2]
    int(port1)

# Socket to talk to server
context = zmq.Context()
socket = context.socket(zmq.SUB)

print 'connecting to publisher'
socket.connect ("tcp://localhost:%s" % port)

if len(sys.argv) > 2:
    socket.connect ("tcp://localhost:%s" % port1)
topicfilter = "10001"
socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, topicfilter)

total_value = 0
while True:
    string = socket.recv()
    got_time = time.time()
    topic, msgdata = string.split()
    dur = got_time - float(msgdata)
    print 'it took %.5f from pub' % dur

输出结果

1. 为什么延迟一直在增加？
2. 我以为根据 http://zeromq.org/results:more-precise-0mq-tests 的说法，ZMQ的延迟应该更低？
3. 我该怎么做才能降低延迟？

Answer 1

问题出在计算上。
pub.py 发送的时间戳是一个整数：

socket.send("%d %d" % (topic, msgdata))

把它换成：

socket.send("%d %.5f" % (topic, msgdata))

通过这个修改，延迟几乎保持在0.00030秒。
