I replaced one of my OpenSER production boxes with a
new server today. The
old one was running x86_64 version of CentOS 5 (two dual core Opteron
processors). The new one is running the i386 flavor of CentOS 5 (one quad
core Xeon processor). I copied the configs from the old box to the new one.
The boxes were built identically using the same process and applications.
The new box is now matching the performance I was seeing on the 1.2.1 box
of my provider. This new box is easily handling 50 new calls per second.
So this indicates that something is wrong with the combination of Linux
x86_64 and OpenSER 1.3.X.

Those of you who have done benchmarking lately -- were your benchmarks run
on x86_64? I would be curious to know if others who have reported
performance problems lately were on x86_64 (I thought at least one other
report indicated they were using that build).
Hi Michael,
thank you for the update, this is in fact really interesting. My recent tests
were all done on x86. But i think, as 64 bit machines and distributions are
getting more and more common, that this is not a general problem with openSER
and 64 bit, but with the exact setup and distribution you use. Perhaps this
is also a driver issue, as you mentioned.
Cheers,
Henning
