Indeed.  Everyone (?) in cisco has an IP phone on their desk, and
you can be sure that there would be many a flamewar on internal
mailing lists if they were prone to crashing.  OTOH, it's been a
while since I've been on a 3-hour conference call.

I'm pretty sure the "pass through port" is an off-the-shelf hub
or switch IC; I don't think that the phone CPU becomes involved
in passing through LAN traffic.  (caveat: I don't work in the
IP phone or even the VoIP arenas...)
