In theory I agree with you.

In practice, I was looking at what is practical and achieveable in a
short time and with limited staff resources. I wasn't advocating
writing our own generalized scheduler/dispatcher. I was advocating
running 2 copies of perl, one with the time-critical stuff, one with
the rest. And prioritize the time-critical one higher. Let the
operating system dispatch the two of them.

You don't want to have 6 because you don't want 6 operating system
processes running.
