Well this is a 2 X E5506
With 8 GB of Ram.

The Main Problem is that we use tons of DTMF + TTS + Dialplan Logic and as you say Anthony this causes an impact on the total Supported Calls.

I'm building a new IVR server that we can deploy on another server so we can ease the pain that mod_python is causing on the CPU.

TOP Shows AVG idle CPU at 93 %

Anyway for every performance increment i find i will post it here. Thanks Anthony for your input i think i got your point , I'm assuming an SBC with media bypass would handle a lot more calls  per profile but as you may have guessed my objective is not SipTrunking but a high layer of service.

Anyway thanks alot.

Regards
Antonio Teixeira

Anything you find useful to get more calls is subjective to the power
of the box.
If sofia starts behaving badly, it indicates a maximum resource
consumption.  More profiles of course help with concurrency.

So I could have a box where I could do 5000 calls before another
profile would help and someone else could get benefits of multiple
profiles at 100 calls.

You have 2 choices:
1) Search for ways to squeeze more calls out of a bad box like we used
to do with config.sys in DOS
2) Use the money you saved by getting a free carrier grade switch
platform and buy a halfway decent  box.
