Not if you're running it on a SMP-box. And there's some other reasons why 2
setis might deliver some more performance than 1 too; if a seti is waiting for
an I/O call to terminate it won't proceed, but meanwhile the other could... Then
again, perhaps the amount of context-switches increases too, lowering
performance. I'd say: if you really must know, experiment with it.
