Hi all,

A simple and stupid question. I was trying to look for some information if OpenSim is multi-threaded and able to automatically run on multiple cores, or if due to some limitations of Mono (unknown to me), this is impossible. Google seems quiet on this (or I might just have been unable to trigger the right combination of keywords that provide me with the answer I need).

If so, it would make more sense to launch multiple separate Mono instances, each running a set of regions, instead of having just one instance with all the regions in that server?

What would you recommend as a more reasonable configuration? I usually have Linux installations with 4 virtual cores, and from visual observation, only two (sometimes even just one!) is being used all the time by OpenSim and Robust. Does Mono somehow pre-bind to a single core and never changes? (In that case, launching multiple OpenSim instances would all get pre-bound on a single core, thus not really making any difference?) For a server that is exclusively used for OpenSim, it seems a waste to let all those cores run idle...

Thanks for any input on this :)

Cheers,

        - Gwyn
