Hi Philippe,

Are you answering on behalf of Udo, or are you just providing a general list 
of reasons why someone might want to run multiple instances? Are you making a 
distinction between "scaling" and "computer with more than one CPU/core" or 
are the two reasons equivalent? How many pages per second are your serving 
such that one instance is inadequate?
