Summary:                    Asterisk core not multitreading sip-to-sip calls
Description: 
Presently we are running asterisk in an sip-to-sip environment. In this
scenario, each call is using the following path:
G729 client -> [asterisk core] -> G729 client (no transcoding, with
canreinvite= yes).
For a certain amount of traffic, we have observed that CPU 0 is havely
loaded while the other CPU's 1,2 and 3 remain idle.
Setup:
DL360 G4  2* dual-core running Linux 2.6.18-8.el5

We are from the opinion that we should make the asterisk core
multithreaded.
This would allow us to handle *3 more calls.
