Four: the idea is to split up the processes so that their threads make best use of the available CPUs. Python's global interpreter lock makes using more than one CPU within a single process problematic.
In the multiprocess setup, is it better to run a single thread per process or multiple threads? Seems like multiple threads would still prevent long running requests from tying up a processor, but the overhead may not be worth it. I haven't had a change to do any testing, so I was wondering if there was a concensus. Kevin
