[SR-Users] Tagging a call with custom pseudo variables - cfg 101

[Alex Balashov]

Not necessarily. All depends on how performant the query is. 

Most real-world call processing involves at least one database touch point on every call. Our product does about five or six complex stored procedure calls and we can still do about 1000 CPS on most commodity hardware.
