With 4 X100P cards, you are putting an enormous strain on a PC of that 
class.  Consider moving to a TDM400 card.

Not really, Asterisk has to answer and then forward.  That take a little 
time.

Yes, but then you'd loose the ability to control the call.  You can do a:
  *exten => _9.,1,Dial(ZAP/1/9)*

But, at this point you won't be able to restrict anything.  Very bad idea.

Again, move away from the X100P cards
