Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a PBX project for the Sheevaplug ARM based computer,
with the following specs: CPU 1.2 GHz, 512MB DDR2, no FPU.
So far I've found a big difference between Freeswitch and Asterisk
performance times.
This is a comparison of the time it takes them to perform different
actions:

startup Freeswitch: 3 min.
startup Asterisk: 2 sec.

call extension Freeswitch: 6 sec.
call extension Asterisk: 0 sec.

shutdown Freeswitch: 6.5 sec
shutdown Asterisk: 0 sec.

reload config Freeswitch: 1 sec.
reload config Asterisk: 1 sec.

Both were built from sources natively (no cross-compiling), and they
use the default startup configurations.
I have managed to lower the Freeswitch times by disabling most of the
modules and recompiling, but it is still far away from Asterisk (i.e.
FS startup time 2.5 min).

1. Is there any way to further improve Freeswitch performance for the
ARM architecture?
2. Can this be related to the lack of a FPU (the Sheevalug emulates
the floating point operations).
3. On the startup I see this error repeated many times: [ERR]
switch_core_sqldb.c:95 SQL ERR [database is locked]. Can this be
related?

Try making where freeswitch stores it's sqlite databases
/usr/local/freeswitch/db (by default) a ramdisk. I've had this vastly
improve FS performance on embedded devices.

probably disk i/o.

Is it some kind of flash drive?

make a ramdisk and simlink in /usr/local/freeswitch/db and /usr/local/freeswitch/log to it
the default configuration uses a lot of high level features that use the sqlite db on the disk.

We also offer commercial support where we could dig deeper into the problem if you can't figure it out

Could you load freeswitch with a couple hundred calls then run the test again.. and do the same to asterisk and see how the numbers stack up then? I'm just curious to see what happens at that point.

Don't forget to press tab at the asterisk console! Smile

Thanks Andrew and Anthony,

I created a ramdisk for the db and log directories using tmpfs and now I see better performance times:

Quote:

startup: 15.6 sec.
call extension: 0 sec.
shutdown: 7.5 sec
reload config: 0 sec.

I have noticed that during the startup there is a 12 sec. pause while checking for UPnP:

Quote:

2009-08-24 04:39:29.910459 [ERR] switch_nat.c:183 Error checking for PMP [general error]
2009-08-24 04:39:29.910694 [DEBUG] switch_nat.c:397 Checking for UPnP
2009-08-24 04:39:41.906029 [INFO] switch_nat.c:411 No PMP or UPnP NAT detected!

Is there any way to lower this time? Maybe disabling the check?

Thanks,
Rogelio

Thanks Brian, now the startup time is 3 sec.

Hi Raymond,

I'm not planning to have more than 10 concurrent calls on this devices, but I'm also curious as you about how many calls can it handle.
When I get to that point I will post the test results on this list.

Regards,
Rogelio
