Well, one could trade unlimited memory consumption caused by stateful processing for the
accounting overhead. It comes down to what is worse overhead for your installation. In normal
situation, stateful processing will eliminate generation of duplicate CDRs on BYE 
retransmissions. In abnormal situations with excessive traffic, the memory consumption
caused by stateful processing may be a more significant overhead than that caused by
accounting. If you optimize for such a case, you may generate a CDR for each BYE
(and not care about what the reply for it is and duplicates due to retransmissions).
