Henryk Konsek and Arek Jurasz wanted to see how fast the Raspberry Pi 2 was when it acted as part of the toolchain of an Internet of Things set-up using Camel and MQTT messages. I’ll let them explain:

We decided to create a simple proof of concept demonstrating how fast Raspberry Pi 2 can be in the typical field device or the gateway scenario. The field device scenario is the Raspberry Pi acting as the edge node collecting the information from the sensors

If this is your kind of area, you can check out their impressive results over on Henryk’s blog.
