If I'm not wrong, you could also read from the MQ-queue
with a timeout, that is, you are stuck in the read until
something arrivs on the queue *or* the timeout "times-out".
At timeout you can just re-issue the read operation.
That would give you fast respons, which is what I guess
you are realy asking for.
