HPEC did make an improvement in some of my cases, but I found the Digium 
licensing procedure to be a hassle, so switched to OSLEC.

What you might want to do it try OSLEC, and if that performs OK for you, 
then you might consider buying the HPEC licenses - I imagine their 
code/cpu usage might be the same, but then if you try OSLEC and it works 
for you, you might not bother with HPEC...
