- how should one handle memory management of the messages? Is it ok for Engine to allocate memory for new
messages and have them destroyed on receipt,
- or should I have queue delete the memory and return by value when messages are fetched?
- what is the crustimony proceedcake for allocated memory from an engine?

Oops, perhaps I missed the boat on the ringbuffer, is the whole point that with a ring buffer the memory for the max number of messages is pre-allocated and we can just call by value in and out of the ringbuffer without any memory management?

thanks
