On a high, theoretical level, the advantage of a single server process is that it has more context. It knows intimate details about everything going on in the system, and can manage concurrent tasks more efficiently using this information (e.g. use fine-grained locks). On the other hand, multiple cooperating processes share only a limited amount of information; each process knows very little beyond what it itself is doing.
