[Freeswitch-users] High cps load causes weird cpu and memory starvation. Need suggestions on how to debug.

Here is sipp output and additional numbers for a test I ran with -nosql
param.

The test ran 180CPS for ~3500seconds and the rest with 210cps.

Trouble (as in higher system cpu% ) started to appear around 8591seconds
into the test.
As you can see below the problem started just before 9124sec into the test
210cps 5sec calls
should not give you a lot more then 1050 concurrent calls.

After stopping the load FS still hogs 22.1% of memory.

The symptoms of the crash are the same, just now with higher CPS and takes
more time (more calls ) before crashing.

I will appreciate any suggestion.
