Thanks for the info!  What OS are you running on the dual-core cpus?

I hadn't heard anything about anyone running 2 instances of zope on a 
dual-core cpu and was wondering if it was better to go with 2 cpus on a 
single box, or run 2 instances of zope on a single dual-core cpu in a single 
box.  It would be nice to set up both configurations and compare them 
side-by-side, but unfortunately hardware just for playing with is scarce 
around here ;-)
