[Freeswitch-users] What FS is doing when idle?

I guess if you insist, you have 4 bad boxes with 4 bad kernels, and I bet
none of them are Centos 5.3
if you can reproduce it on a box I can visit (Centos 5.3 would be nice), put
in my ssh key and i'll come and look.

Be sure to remember, as you continue to add to this thread that you are
complaining about FS using 2% of your cpu......
That's somewhat amusing to me.
