Description:Using an AMI Originate with an optimizing Local channel:

{noformat}
action: Originate
Application: Dial
Data: Local/201@queue
Channel: SIP/200
{noformat}

Asterisk consumes about 6% cpu.

With a non-optimizing Local channel, the consumption goes up quite a bit:

{noformat}
action: Originate
Application: Dial
Data: Local/201@queue/n
Channel: SIP/200
{noformat}

Asterisk now consumes about 17% cpu.  This seems to run with g722 on both ends.  There isn't any transcoding stuff in the output of Action: Status.

With the call bridged via ARI, I see 57% cpu, with the transcoding stuff.

So it may be ARI specific, or I guess it could be something I'm doing wrong when we create the bridge.  My bridge creation is a POST to "http://localhost/ari/bridges?type=".

Note that the immediate bug here was fixed in r403993. However, there are some longer term/deeper performance issues with format attribute/capabilities in the core that we should address.

As such, this issue is going to remain open, but the massive spike in CPU/horrible transcoding path should no longer occur on Local channels created via ARI.
