The fact that you see multiple processes is symptomatic
of a wonky threading implementation -- all threads should
belong to the same process. The exception to this is
chan_h323 which actually fork(2)s a new process.

Also, as threads share memory space there is no extra
usage with extra threads (except for the overhead of
keeping the thread state itself, which is minimal).
