One thing I did on the Paging Branch was to create three new methods on MessageReference to control reference counting. int decrementRefCount(); | | int incrementRefCount(); | | int getRefCount(); | With that I can discount the size of a queue when refCount == 0, and start depaging as soon as the size reaches some minimal watermark. The paging logic is already working on the branch. I still have some work to do such as configuring paging size individually and some other small things, but I'm almost there.
