[asterisk-dev] call files batching - performance

[Martin]

You can try using Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and the Originate command
instead. It should be more efficient. There should be some perl script
that can connect to AMI
and you just have to enable it in manager.conf and setup the user account.
