There is one parent process that starts up child processes. The parent process is somewhat akin to a proxy (apache etc) dispatching requests to multiple mongrels. The parent process for the free version runs on 1 CPU. However each child process will run on its own processor.
I believe litespeed says the free version can handle up to 150 requests per second, which means you can handle nearly 13 million hits per day with decent hardware. Pretty good for the free version I think. - Ericson Smith CTO http://www.funadvice.com On Jan 5, 2008 9:03 AM, ChrisR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does multiprocessor mean it will only use one physical processor or > just one core?
