I use a Dual Xeon hyper threaded, top shows it as 4 cpus and the load seems to be pretty well balanced.

The kernel has been compiled with SMP. However, asterisk seems to only use 1 processor. 3 of the 4 always stay at 100% idle. Is it pointless to have a multi-proc machine? I was going to buy a new dual 3.6Ghz Xeon server but if nothing will take advantage of the other proc... Perhaps my conception of multi-proc/threaded is warped. If asterisk is the only thing using CPU, I would expect the load to be distributed amounst the processors. Instead of 1 proc falling to 20% idle (80% using on that 1 proc), I should see all 4 procs fall to 80% idle (20% used on each). Is this wrong? What about the g729 library from digium? Is that multi-proc aware? -Matthew -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthew Boehm, IT Director Cypress Telecommunications [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3838 N.
