Actually, the top utility will track utilization across all CPU's quite
nicely. No reason to turn HT off to understand what the system is doing.
Start the top program and then type 1 (the number one). This should give
a load average by CPU display in the summary area.

I'm sure you're capable of cramming more game servers on a single box.
its perfectly possible, but not with the pingboost and FPS your wanting.
These chew up quite a lot of processor time, and the HT is only confusing
the system as to the real load level.
Try it for a day. Disable HT and see what the system load is like when
the
PCU's arn't lying about their real utilisation. I'm betting that each of
your servers is using more than half of a CPU to run. Thus starting the
third instance is causing the scheduler to constantly swap threads
amongst
CPU's meaning you have one that fully loaded and causing lag, and another
thats not (but will be in the next schedule cycle).
Lets say for example you have two containers that are 100 units each. A
block wants/needs 52 units. Thus two units will fit nicely into two
containers, but how do you fit a third block of 52 when its indivisible?
the simple answer is you cant.
