Is that really true?

"Direct queues are non-queuing queues. A queue in direct mode does
neither queue nor buffer any of the queue elements but rather passes the
element directly (and immediately) from the producer to the consumer.
This sounds strange, but there is a good reason for this queue type."

[...]

"To create a direct queue, use the "$<object>QueueType Direct" config
directive."

e.g. (I suppose):
	$MainQueueType Direct
