[Asterisk-Dev] SMP is this the correct behavior??

Have you considered the possibility that the scheduling mechnism (which 
is in the kernel and doesn't have anything to do with Asterisk) prefers 
a hot cache to "balancing the threads"?

I won't be surprised if this not only the reason but actually buys you 
more perfomance.
