[Asterisk-Dev] Benchmark numbers....

[Brian West]

Well its getting closer and closer every month.  I recall when I  
tried to load 10k peers into asterisk in sip.conf when I first  
started with asterisk... OMG it sucked.. asterisk would barf and roll  
over and die for about 3 min.. then come back... but now it does this  
very gracefully within a second or so ;)  And i'll be pushing the  
numbers higher and higher as we solve issues such as this  
registration bug. ;)
