Well, even if you want to get the value, I would still *guess* (not proven)
that it would be quicker (nominally) to use RemoveAt - i.e.

Telegram aTlg = ReceiveQueue[0];
ReceiveQueue.RemoteAt(0);
// blah

I haven't profiled it, but that would be my guess.

You could try:

while(true) {
lock(ReceiveQueue) {
if(ReceiveQueue.Count==0)
break;
Telegram aTlg = ReceiveQueue[0];
ReceiveQueue.RemoteAt(0);
}
// pulse here perhaps?
}
}

This will still loop until the queue is empty, but will lock/unlock on every
iteration, exiting when empty. It might also need a PulseAll or something at
the end of each iteration to invite the other threads to the party...
