+Erlang Priority Queue Implementation
+====================================
+
+The priority queue implementations implement a subset of the stdlib Erlang queue interface as seen in the implementation used by both [Riak and RabbitMQ](https://github.com/basho/riak_core/blob/master/src/riak_core_priority_queue.erl).
+
+The implementations:
+
+* `priority_queue` (fastest for any priorities when only using a single priority at a time)
+* `pqueue` (fastest for 41 priorities, -20 (high) to 20 (low), when using 2 or more priorities at the same time)
+* `pqueue2` (slower heap implementation)
+* `pqueue3` (faster than `pqueue2` and `priority_queue` when using 64 or more priorities at the same time)
+* `pqueue4` (slightly slower than `pqueue` but fastest for allowing 257 priorities, -128 (high) to 128 (low), i.e., fastest when using 42 or more priorities at the same time)
+
+[The latest results are here](http://okeuday.livejournal.com/19539.html), with [the benchmark here](http://github.com/okeuday/erlbench).
