  <p>We are running a set-up where we have multiple threads consuming off of a single consumer/channel. We allow the thread count and prefetch count to be adjusted on the fly. What combination of parameters to the <code>Model.BasicQos(prefetchLength, prefetchCount, global);</code> call on the c# client should we be using? </p>
