Consumer performance benchmarking and best library

[poonkothaip]

Hi
We are using kafka-python library based consumer (basic one) to consume messages from MSK. performance wise, this doesnt meet our defined requirements. Can anyone suggest any pointers on how to optimise the parameters or tune to get best performance. to process 5k messages, as of now it takes around 10-12 minutes but our requirement is less than 5 min. Properties used are as below

Thanks
