[Freeswitch-users] RTP delay > 100ms by performance testing with freeswitch as trancoding device SILK to G711a

Fri Jul 6 23:10:45 MSD 2012

The ones that are not nice tend to be the ones who use a shared bus
for all the resources so if you are using them all at once like FS
does things are waiting for each other.  like RAM, DISK, CPU have to
take turns.

The last gen of xeon are somewhat nice.  They are basically the same
architecture as i5/i7 but still xeon and you can have multiples of 6
at a time in one box.
These CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117256

and this barebones supermicro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101314

is what I use on my dev box with 24 gigs of ram.
