Hi all,

I'm using 'show translation' to help dimension my system, but I confused by the results I get. My 2 test systems (results below): an AthlonXP 2000+ (1.3GHz) and a Pentium D930 (duo-core, 3.0GHz) produced similar results (D930 is slightly faster). Googling shows that others have similar results running on other CPU speeds >2.0GHz.

At first glance, it would look like the AthlonXP gives better bang for the buck :). But, I'm sure that are other reasons. I know show translation times how long it takes a convert 1s of full duplex audio. I suspect the test is using a single CPU (since it's in a single thread) and there are some constant overheads that makes a 3.0GHz produce the same numbers as a 1.3GHz.

I would love to hear how others are using the results from show translation in system dimensioning. So far, I feel that dimensioning an Asterisk box is still mostly guesstimation :). Currently, I'm using the 30MHz per call rule to dimension.
