I guess it depends on how long your calls are on average. Forwarding RTP
is fairly simple - read() index lookup and write(). Setting up a call is 
usually more involved, when you have lots of rules in your "dial plan". 

The balance between those will depend on the length of the call, and 
complexity of your dial plan.
