Hello.

Is normal this output from the “top” command?!

I have a kamailio with 16 children receiving calls at rate of 30cps and using the dialog module to timeout the calls :

This is the top command :

The question is : I always see the process PID : 2566 using more CPU than the rest of the childrens.

Is this normal?
