WCF MSMQ consumer thread count

What's the best way to configure the maximum number of threads that can pull messages from an MSMQ queue, using a netMsmqBinding in WCF?

For example, say I have an MSMQ service for which I only want to have 2 (or 10, or whatever number of) worker threads pulling messages off at a time.

You need Service Throttling

 <serviceBehaviors>
  <behavior name="DefaultThrottlingBehavior">
   <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="2" />
  </behavior>
