what is wrong with running asterisk with the -pg flags at startup?
Which is exactly what I suggested:
Since VoIP is a real time activity, simple "nice" really isn't enough.
What you should do is mark the Asterisk proccess as a real time task for
the Linux kernel to schedule accordingly. You can do this with Asterisk
by passing the "-p" option to the Asterisk command line.
And the warning still holds:
A warning is due here: real time priority scheduled tasks are not
something to be toyed with. You need to be root to be able to turn on
this feature (meaning you have to be running Asterisk as root). A bug in
Asterisk, a problem with mpg123 or a red alert on a FXO card can very
well leave your system completly non responsive - so use with care.
Having said that, I've been running an Asterisk server on a machine
which is also used as SOHO firewall and file server for year now and it
works great.
