I tried 2 more things:
- Changing the Encoding metadata in the dumpfile to 546 and retrying: still slow

Are you reading messages at the same time as you are writing them - from whatever you are using instead of qload?
No, just reading. I do not touch the production queue anymore now that I can repro ... |

So you have the same CCSID but a different encoding... What is the FORMAT on the MQMD of your messages as shown by the browse tool? 
I get

Ok, I compared some test messages with what I get from my prod queue. The only difference that seems significant is the encoding!

All right, I just did an interesting test: I copied about 26000 messages from my production queue to a file, then to my test queue. Now I get the same problem on the test queue!

This code is still not faster when used with the production queue, though. If anything, the option makes the code slower.
What option? Please be a bit more precise when you post.

Ok, I found what caused my code to exit after one message when pulling out of the production queue. I moved the lines

With CURDEPTH(0), ReasonCode 2033 is appropriate - no message available.
I ran this command after I emptied the queues. When my code was running the queues were full.
