[asterisk-users] Is there real benefits on a SMP machine for Asterisk?

I suppose that yes. Asterisk uses pthread, and it should distribute load 
across multiple cores.

However, i doubt that you will need that much for 35 simultenous calls.

I have 8-core system that has web interface + sql + java + some other stuff 
running, and at 30 simultenous calls i get loadavg maximum of 3.
