maybe you can try both ways and see if there is a significant difference?<br>I think -hp would help more if you were doing media than if you were not but that does not mean it could not still help performance but really the extra performance would only show up once you had consumed all the resources the box had to offer without -hp enabled in most cases.<br>

<div><div>I have 2 identical Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers running FreeSWITCH Version 1.0.4 (exported) with only one thing difference which is the first one is running with -hp enabled; however, I have noticed that the one with -hp option consumed double in memory usage than the other one.  </div>
