My machine is plenty fast, with a 2.8 ghz hyperthreading processor and 1 GB of RAM, and there was never any signifcant load. I even tried terminating all user space programs, running basically only the kernel and asterisk, but it made no difference.
I finally figured out that the clicking was due to software raid. I have bought a 3ware hardware raid card and converted all of the filesystems. And no more clicking and popping. So beware of trying to use asterisk with software raid.
I am not looking for comments. I am posting this so that it gets archived, in the hope that it will save somebody else some time.
