[Freeswitch-users] Kernel timer warning with CentOS 5.4

[Bruce Hopkins]

Hi Anthony,

Many, many apologies to take so long to reply - I failed to notice your
response.  Sorry !

It seems to be variable.  Most times (on CentOS 5.3) when I start FS it
tells me it is around 1995ms.  Occasionally it is lower (sub 1000ms) and
then does not give a warning.

Best wishes
Bruce
