[Freeswitch-users] FS stress test issue

exactly, im doing the test on a virtual box, double the CPU from quad-core
to oct-core, the test scenario is simple, making calls at a speed of
28calls per sec, play sound file at PCMU codec for 150 sec after connected,
then hangup and repeat.

i've heard people stress tests FS with over 2000 concurrent calls, so i
think there should be some way i can make my FS box more powerful, but
things seem not gonna be easy to do.
