/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/msg.h gives 16 as a maximum number of message queues.

First I'm curious why such a small number

Second I'm curious what alternate message passing methods get used where (in my case) many (24+) threads communicate by posing messages to one-another's message queues.

Since the processor is a 586/266MHz with 64MB, both size of implementation and speed of operation are significant, with speed being more important.
