Queuing theory isn't reality, though. I'm runing CSIM-based simulations on an Encore multimax. We have 10 CPUs. I can grab 4 or 5 of them in the middle of the day and still leave plenty for everyone else. I can run a single job on each CPU, and I never block. I never context switch except for paging. I avoid the overhead of having to swap between processes & the comensurate clearing of my working set from memory. When you have a set of 70 -> 150 simulations to run & you have to put up with a time-sharing system, there's alot to be said for multiple CPUs.
