Alex A direct answer is: Any transcoding causes CPU use. Normal call switching is like routing and requires little CPU. Think about this ~2000 users running fine on a normal server (corprate phone system with a 10% utilization). First thing in the morning 50% of them check their voicemail. The people that have voicemail listen to it and it needs transcoded because it was saved as a wav file and emailed to them. Suddenly you have a high load on the server because the voicemail is being converted from wav to your codec. If your network is set up well, meaning that each and every phone has a clean fast connection to the server(s) then use a codec that does not do much (g.711), so that 90% of the time you don't see anything. When transcoding does happen then you are moving from one low compression to another codec and back which will give a lower CPU load.
