Yes what you see are different forks(threads in that case) accessing the
same address space to share some work. What they do with them? Not sure
but I think the internal voice is for example on an extra thread so they
ensure the main server loop don�t have to take care of that also. Im not
sure about this VOIP think its juts guesses you will maybe also have if
you see a big server running full with some VOIP users.

Do a pstree and you will see what im talking of. ps -A f | grep bf2 can
do the same.

IF they do this they definably make you benefit from a dual system or
also a HT system as different threads can be executed in real parallel so.

As I can see CPU 0 and 1 in your case it looks like you have at least HT
so be happy  ;-)
