We are getting really bad results of our performance tests on core bridges.
Bandwith on EAP7 with AMQ Artemis is about 2631msgs/sec.
With similar config on EAP6 with HQ is bandwidth over 20833msgs/sec.
I tried to use netty nio connector instead of http, to get better performance, but it was slow anyway.

Performance tests are performed on two bare metal nodes in our lab.
I'm attaching configs which we use for EAP7 and EAP6.

We have two configs. One (standalone-full-ha-1.xml) for node with bridge and one (standalone-full-ha-2.xml) for node which receives messages.
