I think its relative to each kernel version. The safe bet is to enable the 1000hz timer because 1ms is the least amount of time FS needs to sleep. Sometimes when you have a kernel that runs even faster the performance goes down due to the extra cycles. All I can say is test everything.
Try it both ways with 1000hz and however the default is and if you support timerfd try that too. param enable-softtimer-timerfd set to true in switch.conf.xml and/or using mod_timer_fd and setting rtp_timer_name=timerfd in your sofia profile.
Ok, Thanks Anthony. The default on my system was 250Hz. Have changed that and re-compiled the kernel. Will try out both and see what happens. BTW, do we need timerfd in conjunction with the 1000hz timer set in the kernel or is it either/or? As in does it affect positively or negatively if we leave the kernel at 250Hz and enable timerfd as the timing source? Thanks
