I'd let the os sort it out. You should be able to run a lot more than 2 server instances on that box.

The box I'm hoping to use is a 3.0 GHz Core2Duo. Assuming the box is dedicated to L4D and it is hosting multiple server instances, would it be more efficient to use taskset to "lock" each server process to a specific core, or use the "one host process with multiple children" mode and let the scheduler sort it out? My goal is to run at least two servers on this box, possibly three. If I can run more than one server instance on the same CPU core without impacting performance, that will be great.
