Depending on how many cores and how many artists are around we'd definitely run more than one Arnold or Nuke on a machine. hbatch tends to chew a whole machine but mantra I'd run more than one. That's only going to become more common as we move to machines with piles of cores in them. Some things scale across the cores but some don't and you're better off running two frames simultaneously.
