Thanks all replies to this thread, I got more clear idea.

MC, I'm not sure I get what do you mean. I think the fact is that
conferences use more resources(threads) than bridges, it just failed
to create new threads at about 2560 threads on Mac. I used the default
ulimit values.  Since I was trying to compare conferences over bridges
but not load test, so I didn't care about much of upper limits. Anyway
I will never use in production on Mac.

On Linux, I created 2400 bridged channels(think about loopback using
double than normal calls), and without hangup all the calls, I start
to create 2400 conference channels, loadavg boost to over 2000 from
some where, so I executed "hupall" to avoid crash the whole sever. (
before I saw 2000 loadavg, the max loadavg I seen is about 60 on linux
and that server is no-response at all, I was lucky that I can still
control the server on loadavg 2000.

I almost used the default config(say loglevel 7), so bottle necks
might be everywhere. Anyway I got my conclusion.

Thanks.
