Yes it will be beneficial.   We have a TDM410P and were getting nominal
performance until we recompiled the kernel.  A good use of 6 hours.

Subject: [asterisk-users] 1000Hz kernel

Hi


I was reading this article on installing asterisk 1.6 + debian 
http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-configuring-asterisk-1.6-and-postgr
esql-to-manage-cdr-and-realtime-config-on-debian


and I noticed they suggested to recompile to 1000Hz enable kernel, I
currently have a 250Hz stock standard kernel. I am running on a soekris
board - amd geode cpu.


Is recompiling the kernel to the 1000Hz going to be beneficial to me,
the box is primarily used for firewall router / voip (Asterisk)

I could be wrong, but I think the 1000Hz suggestion specifically
refers to trying to do audio mixing, as in MeetMe() and the
dahdi_dummy module. I think I noticed an improvement with dahdi_dummy
audio mixing when using the 1000Hz versus 250.

You wouldn't have known about this suggestion if you had never read
that page, and asterisk will still run. I would call that particular
suggestion a 'best practice', rather than a 'must do'.

Most likely that was just incidental. Having either Digium or Sangoma
hardware is enough in order to get the required timing. The only reason to
increase the kernel timer to 1khz is when you need dahdi_dummy module, which
uses this timer to fake interrupts that otherwise would be generated by real
hardware.

If you use Asterisk 1.6, just upgrade DAHDI to 2.2 and you won't need a
1000Hz kernel.

Is there a demand for a backport of this to Zaptel?

out of curiosity why is that the case ?
