[Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch Performance

Thu Nov 21 00:56:32 MSK 2013

I had debug turned off but I'll enable it to see if anything interesting happens.
I didn't see anything that said pause.

I'll also turn off odbc for the core db and use the default one to see if that helps. Un testing it didn't help but I'll try it in again.

Do you have your logs at debug level and are there any log messages that
indicate a call reaching a point then pausing?

I saw something recently similar under load, and it turned out to be the
limit subsystem was waiting on DB queries that were severely backing up
because there were too many commits happening per second and InnoDB was
configured to flush to disk on every transaction commit which can only
happen ~200 times per second. (Switching to the memory engine fixed the
error although isn't transactional).
