[Asterisk-Users] Tuning the Linux kernel?

[Chris Albertson]

I'd say that unless you can identify a specific performance
problem doing something to the kernel is will not be productive.
A modern kernal with most all drivers loaded as modules is
prety much self-adaptive.  The why to gain performance (if
you need it) is to throw hardware at the problem.  Using
fast SCSI disks, loads of RAM and faster CPU(s) are the way to go
but, big but, unless you've hit an identifiable bottle neck
there is no point.
