well, AFAICS, the performance issues in asterisk aren't really on a  
per/invite per second, but more of a concurrent calls per sec since  
asterisk needs to gateway all this, even if not transcoding. tuning  
the INVITEs and REGISTERs would be good for stuff like SER in which  
they've already done this, but then I don't beleive asterisk would be  
able to compete with SER in proxying anyway. Asterisk's strong side  
is support for lots of strange stuff, so being able to deal with  
fscked up clients should be yet another feature for asterisk...  
IMHO.......
