My experience is that there are DEFINITE bottlnecks with a variety of
Quad core processors that manifest themselves as increased iteration
times as you run more instances. On a quad, I have iteration times get
progressively worse. Basically, the 4th instance slows the other 3 down
enough that I stopped running it - got better overall throughput with 3
instances. On a Dell double Quad Xeon system (one of their
workstations), that "breakeven" point is reached at 5 instances, so that
is how many I am running.
OTOH, 5 is amazing on a single machine.
I would like to hear about the experience of others with this issue.
