hello, <br><br>im wondering how much performance do we loose when using ESL instead of running it via dialplan?<br><br><br>without ESL with a fine tuned FS and a short dialplan ( answer, playback like 20 seconds file, hangup ) im able to service 75 CPS. On the same FS, when i use ESL to answer the call, playback the same file and hangup, im not able to run more than 2 CPS... this is a huge impact and i really can&#39;t believe it.<br>

<br>I&#39;m using event-socket outbound e.g.:<br><br>&lt;action application=&quot;socket&quot; data=&quot;<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8088" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:8088</a> async full&quot;/&gt;<br><br>my extension looks like:<br>
<br>&lt;extension name=&quot;ESL_C&quot;&gt;<br>
  &lt;condition field=&quot;destination_number&quot; expression=&quot;^(6666)$&quot;&gt;<br>    &lt;action application=&quot;socket&quot; data=&quot;<a href="http://127.0.0.1:8088" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:8088</a> async full&quot;/&gt;<br>

    &lt;action application=&quot;sleep&quot; data=&quot;1000&quot;/&gt;<br>    &lt;action application=&quot;hangup&quot;/&gt;<br>  &lt;/condition&gt;<br>&lt;/extension&gt;<br><br><br>im using testserver from lib/esl/ and i just removed the conference command and added the playback one.... also i moved the esl_debug lvl to 0<br>

<br><br>anyhow, FS cannot run more than 2 CPS compared to 75 CPS when the playback is done from the dialplan.<br><br><br>Please, can someone give me a clue on what is going on? <br>Maybe im doing something wrong?<br>how to get maximum FS performance using ESL ?<br>

<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Tihomir.<br><br>
