[asterisk-users] Max how many users in sip.conf

Perhaps the sip.conf could be simplified so that each user would take a
smaller chunk.  In my experience, either way the system will take some time
(several minutes) to start up with this quantity of users (20 or 50K).

Perhaps you should look into realtime; storing the users in MySql 
database instead.
