Hi,

We are running some stress tests  again  freeswitch  using sipp.

At 100 concurrent call, Freeswitch starts to throw out some strange error messages:

Green laserfire moves past the beeping little robot as his head turns.  After a few beeps a$
Artoo reduces the max sessions to 328 thus, saving the switch from certain doom.

Last Error: Aborting call on unexpected message for Call-Id '3143-6125@1...


When increasing the number of concurrent calls to several hundreds, Freeswitch throws the following error:
[CRIT] switch_time.c:394 softtimer_runtime() Over Session Rate of 30!

The test is run on Dual Core Intel P4 3GHz with 1G of RAM. 

Is this kind of performance normal for such kind of machine or there are some OS configs required to enable more concurrent calls?  What kind of number should I be expecting to get?
