He said the impact on the system would be "not much, more memory usage though." <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2006-February/141180.h tml> Right now we have seventy calls waiting in queues (all with native MOH) and 120 calls connected to agents. The box is jumping between 50%-60% idle. "ps auxm" shows 241 threads for Asterisk, but none of them take more than 0.8% CPU. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing an option that allowed native MOH to pull from a single thread for each class. It would probably yield lower CPU utilization, but I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement. If enough people are interested in this feature, it should be submitted through Mantis as a feature request.
