Paul, The Ruby application taking responsibility for implementing a recogniser does certainly introduce an overhead to the application. I'm not sure yet how much of a penalty this is in a real-world application (it's difficult to untangle this from other differences), but either way my primary concern is one of logical responsibility. For reasons of client simplicity, platform consistency, etc, this piece fits better inside Asterisk (such that it's usable via AMI, ARI, the C API, etc) than in a consumer of those APIs.
