Everytime someone asks this ,  the resounding answer is use a 64bit os..

No question

Hey Giovanni,

thanks for the tip... indeed the db files were heavily used regardless if i started freeswitch with nosql option (freeswitch - nosql)... FS was not writing anything into that files ... instead it was just accessing it.... This behaviour leads to a waste of 40% CPU time... waiting for other processes (mainly disk access) to finish!!!

I moved freeswitch/db/ to a ramdisk and the performance got a boost to 140 CPS with a CPU load of 80%. I was keeping the machine for a while (20 - 30 minutes) on that rate when i sow CPU suddenly went to 100% and FS becoming irresponsive :).


What can be wrong?
What are the limits in CPU usage (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%...) we should not cross?
What fine tuning do we need in order to asure a long high load run?



Also, I'm running 32-bit OS (debian 5) on a 64 bit CPU... does it have sense to move my OS to 64 bit? ... will FS gain more preformance ?... I mean will FS perofomr drastically better 20%+ ?

Maybe your load comes from disk access?

Try putting the sql and log directories on a ramdisk.
