I somehow doubt that virtualizing the server will help speed things up. virtualization will always add overhead, and smp-guests certainly imposes rather a lot of overhead. I would think the linux schedulers (at least one of them) are probably better suited to run the load efficiently than using separate VMs. Just my two cents... roy -- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk (+47) 98013356 [email protected] -- I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt.
