Maybe, but the Asterisk Manager is happy with 10 calls per second and if 
your controlling process is spread across Asterisk machines you can do 
hundreds of calls per second.  If you're doing what it seems he is, I'd 
agree that call files may be easier, but I'm not sure it scales better. 
  How many call files can you put in a directory, is he using a hard 
drive or compact flash (max writes).

I've never actually done any proper tests of the comparison between a 
call file and a manager originate.  I would have thought they were 
pretty much the same, albeit that you're adding an extra layer of 
complexity with the call files.
