I believe you can assign processors in vmware, and xen as well. So you could probably do something funky like that to try to reduce load. The only thing that probably becomes difficult is trying to manage physical hardware between virtual machines.

For example, set up one VM to handle incoming lines, echo cancellation and all sets, and then set up the other VM to handle VoIP, including transcoding. A bit kludgy, to be sure, but would VMWare allow for both cores/CPUs to be more fully utilized? Very possibly not practical, but it's been floating about my head for a bit and I figured I'd send it out into the ether to see what thoughts might come back. So . . . thoughts?
