Software better than Skype?

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

Hi,

I tried Skype from PC to PC, really very good sound quality. But Skype seems
to use a lot of the systemspeed. When I start "Filemon" you can see that
Skype is opening and closing a lot of files every sexond even it is not in
use....

Is there a Software that is better in handling the system resources, but as
good or better than Skype?
Or is Skype the Mercedes of VoiceoverIP-Software?

I personally like Freshtel's Firefly softphone
It needs a decent machine to run properly but the sound is great and it's
free
