What performance increase do you expect if you don't load a module? In theory you'd use less RAM but with a modern VM system the disk sectors don't get mapped into physical RAM unless the code is executed.
Whenever Linux needs more RAM most of the time it simply overwites the RAM used to hold the executable code used by some program. It doesn't even have to bother saving what was over written because it can always re-read it from the .so or executable file. so these "extra modules" just get over written anyways. You save very little. >From a "it's nice to do" stand point trim it down but I'd like to see hard measured performance numbers from before and after. I would actully expect trimmingwould help but likely at the "second decimal place" level. --- TeleSIP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Another trick to look into is cutting down of the asterisk modules > that > > are loaded.
