I have implemented some simple messaging system IMS for my own use inside the application, that allows sending and recieving message for objects.
I have a singleton object IMSContext that has a method transfer which is used to pass messages by every object
IMSContext.instance.transfer(message)
Also that IMSContext stores all IMS objects.
As I use sole method to transfer message, I want to imitate some kind of load balancing – assuming that this sole method is a bottleneck – when there are too much messages are being transferred I want to use some kind of mechanism that would move the flow of messages to another method…or maybe even object.
But I have no idea how to do it. Could recommend something or help with the approach?

Not really sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. But here goes.
Problem summary
- You have a Messaging class with method transfer
- You want to spread the calls to transfer over multiple instances of the Messaging class
- You want the calling code to be unaware of the many instances
first off. Don’t use singletons.
second. wrap Messaging in a new class MessagingLoadBalanced which holds a list of Messaging instances. something like:
class MessagingLoadBalanced : IMessaging
{
private List<Messaging> messagings;
private int i = 0;
Public void Transfer(object message)
{
messagings[i].Transfer(message);
i++;
if(i >= messagings.Length) { i=0;}
}
}
lastly, use this new class in your calling code as if it was a normal IMessaging
