Ubuntu Hi-Res timer - small world
Went to my cousins party on saturday (Leeds UK) and bumped into a friend of hers, who just so happens know a bit about FS and has a couple of production boxes running FS for his wholesale carrier business. He recommended if I were running FS on ubuntu to recompile it, so that dynamic ticks were switch off and set the timer frequency to 1000 Hz. I have done that, but the CPU idle seems to have increased 5% to around 15% and spikes to 25% when I make a single call. Should that be expected on a lowly box with an old celeron CPU and 500mb RAM? model name : Celeron (Coppermine) stepping : 10 cpu MHz : 901.571 cache size : 128 KB MemTotal: 508316 kB MemFree: 276248 kB
Try a newer or older version of the kernel as well. On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 2:37 PM, lloyd thomas <lloydie.t@gmail.com> wrote:

I would highly recommend faster boxes...we have wall plugs that move quicker these days. :) /b On Aug 31, 2010, at 2:37 PM, lloyd thomas wrote:

Which release of Ubuntu are you running? I have FS running on a very old machine(slower than yours) and I have seen an issue like this before. It was related to the release and the kernel. -William On 08/31/2010 01:27 PM, Brian West wrote:

I have completed the rebuild of my ubuntu freeswitch box and recompiled with tickless switched off and timer set to 1000Hz I am now running Lucid 2.6.32.15+drm33.5tch-freeswitch Idle uses 2% CPU load. Idle with freeswitch running gives 12% cpu load. I get a spike up to 20% on call setup and then call reverts to using around 12-13%. Calling music on hold seems to use a couple of % more. I suspect for the lowly hardware I have it on, this is acceptable for running a few extensions. Can I do anything to further reduce the cpu load?
