ok, but wouldnt then both servers just run half as good as the first one? (putting aside that you can run them on 2 cores)
In our case we have a commercial server which is under-utilised. And we can only have 2 active User Accounts at any time, so as we need to keep one free for admin purposes, we had to find a way to run all FL sessions in the same User Account.
There are a couple of other servers running in this way but I don't know what their load is.
This technique is useful from time to time, perhaps for running a test version or for trying new mods, and for some groups of friends who want to have more than one version running for their pals as we do.
We're running 4 sessions on a P4 1.6GHz Windows 2003 server without lag at the moment, but there are not many players at once, maybe 6-8 at most and normally 0 to 1. We do have 4GB RAM, this is a more important speed factor.
Each admin will need to watch his server and see.
