I think that the most reasonable and complete answer to this is  
"Asterisk", as you perhaps have already surmised.  If you have  
concerns over "heavy" processing, then perhaps comment out all of the  
modules, functions, channel drivers, codecs, and other items that you  
don't need when you launch Asterisk.  (see /etc/modules.conf for  
details.)
