[Freeswitch-users] Question regarding running FreeSWITCH with high priority enabled.

[DJB]

I have 2 identical Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers running FreeSWITCH Version 1.0.4 (exported) with only one thing difference which is the first one is running with -hp enabled; however, I have noticed that the one with -hp option consumed double in memory usage than the other one.  

I wonder whether anyone can explain why.  Thank you.
