<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">i have set this latest version against branch 1.8 cause russells and jeffs patch are only in 1.8 branch but not in trunk and i have merged it together to keep the change simple. this patch will go into trunk only.
i renamed the structure from extenhint to hintdevice cause it just makes more sense.
i also set the refcounter for hintdevices to 1 not 2 like it was before. To destroy a object if its unlinked from the container.

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">handle_statechange in pbx.c has a very great impact on call handling performance. i have noticed this several times and i have written a solution which makes handle_statechange handling 61 times faster.
i have used the patch (rev. 293802 for 1.4) from russellb and jeffpeeler to also fix a deadlock problem and their part to move hints to an ao2_container.
after thinking about the best solution IMO iterating through the whole hint list/container to maybe find a hint with a matching device is very expensive way. So i have used a own container for devices which just have a link back to their hint.
This means there is a hashed cmp for devices which gives back a multiple object ao2_iterator for all hints, this device, which have a state change, is used in.
these devices are not longer limited to any length so its possible to use a hint for 100 peers at once.
Tilghman Lesher noticed on the dev-list what would happen when a dynamic hint is used. I have tried this with one dynamic hint and subscribe up to 2500 different users on this, several times and it works just fine. If a subscribe for a dynamic hint comes in, a static extension with static appdata is generated which acts like a normal hint so there is no problem on this. </pre>

core show hint / hints show all hints also dynamic and their watchers
loadtests shows the following result:
orig version:
handle_statechange COUNTER: 10009 overalltime: 7041 ms
MAX: 365 CPS
patched version:
handle_statechange COUNTER: 10009 overalltime: 115 ms
MAX: 580 CPS
same setup, same config tested with sipp.</pre>
