That's a dangerous assumption. Do really know for a certainty that a
program "should not" be visible in top when it's "idle"? Like Tony said
below, "idle" is misleading. FreeSWITCH is working its but off when you
think it's "idle." Make 100 simultaneous calls and see what the CPU
usage is. I think you'll be happy with the results.

Cue up applicable car analogy....
I ask Sergey this question: When you turn on your car and let it while
in either a parking gear or in neutral, your car is considered
"idling". But does the car still not use oxygen and gasoline, and
produce heat and waste products all the while idling? That is how you
can think of a complex system such as FreeSWITCH. It is a machine with
a lot of parts, and idling means that it is in a "ready" state, but
does not mean that it is "turned off".
