System Bus traffic load

Hi,
I am using the system bus for multiple applications and
servers.
One of these applications is extremely heavy in terms of number
and size of messages (something like downloading all contacts
from a contact book).
In case, this heavy application is active and say sending "x"
messages across the dbus-daemon, will an important message by
another application be head of line blocked by this heavy load
on the dbus-daemon.
I think the dbus-daemon may become the bottleneck, in forwarding
messages, depending on the message scheduling.
What is the message scheduling scheme in the dbus-daemon?
Single FIFO across all the different clients or round robin?
If its round-robin, then the heavy application doesn't block the
other important application messages on the bus.
