Is ~4 mongrels per core a normal baseline you start with for hardware
like that?  A site I'm working on will have a simliar setup -- 3 web
servers with dual dual-core xeons, though with less ram (4 to 8 gigs).
 This would be behind Apache, though, would that change the
recommendation of 4 per core?

I plan on doing plenty of tests with http-perf, of course, just
looking for a good starting point.
