Batch Insert of queue messages

Hi there,

It would be great if I could do batch insert (add) of messages. Often times I need to add several hundred or thousands or messages to a queue, and today I have to add them one by one. This is also related to the small size limitation of each message.

    Can't press the vote button this this hard enough. Our testing has shown average response time for a single insert to be 7ms. Assuming much of that time is in network latency the performance benefits of a bulk API are potentially massive for jobs which generate millions of queue items. This is typically a day one feature so I'm really surprised to not see it here.

    I fully agree with this. We have a similar need to post thousands of messages at a time. Even if we could batch 100 like you can with storage table writes it would be a huge improvement.
