Re: Please have a look at this patch adding option to configure SMPPthrottling sleep time

Stipe, it's your call. But I wouldn't caught dead using Apache. It is 
overbloated and way past due. Is this the roadmap for kannel? Then perhaps a 
worthy project would be lightkannel.

As far as ease of implementation goes, this kind of change requested takes 
only a few lines and can be done and tested in less than an hour. I am just 
not sure who would benefit from this.

It took me some time to learn Octstr and Lists. Now learn pluggins? Getting 
too tired for this. Why none can write straight C any more? If a plugin mode 
becomes available, just learning, writing and debugging the pluggin API 
could take a week. Then you have to think about maintaining the pluggin 
code. Net-snmp guys are over their heads with that. They made an extra 
effort once, that now cannot maintain. Look for Kannel to double its size, 
from currently ~200,000 lines to ~400,000.

BTW: I am a performance freak believing in the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) 
principle.

BR,
Nikos
