[OpenSIPS-Users] MediaProxy loading issues - I think I need some tuning here

Saúl,

You called it. Complete turn around in load-out - no more port
complaints and at 900 calls I'm seeing around 20% usage across four
cores. And the 'apt-get update' updates -relay for me, which I was
expecting to have to build (like I did initially), so I'm very
pleased.

When the system is humming along at 900 calls I started noticing these pop up:
warning: Aggregate speed calculation time exceeded 10ms: 10401us for
431 sessions
Googling shows that this is related to some statistics, so I've turned
it off for now to see how far I can push media-proxy.

Would you be able to recommend some other settings that I should make
to help mediaproxy-relay push as many calls as possible?

I'm very grateful for your help;

 - Jock
