I do not want to get in the middle of the discussion of what is a better product (I.E. Thirdlane or PBXware), but on the subject of large dialplans, Steve Murphy from Digium (current AEL guru) has shown that large dialplans do have some pretty dramatic speed penaltys. He has developed a testing suite that demonstrates this in various ways, and has been working on making some pretty dramatic changes to the way that priorities are handled. I know that several of his speed up fixes are in 1.4 already, but that a large number of the additional ones he wished to make will require some drastic internal changes and possibly a change in some historical behaviors. He gave an excellent presentation on this at Astricon in Dallas this year. BTW.. Use AEL. It rocks! :) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
