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

Sat Jul 7 01:43:10 MSD 2012

I would be insane to endorse using it in a virtual world.  The support
expectations would consume the rest of my life.
I try to make the code work well on real boxes and if it works on
virtual ones then that's a bonus =D

We have good luck with openVZ since its a single real kernel and
virtual runtimes but either way we do not recommend it so its a use at
your own risk kind of thing.
