Author Perlbal on Multiple Processors

Hey everyone,

We currently plan to use Perlbal as our front end load balancer and
reverse proxy, making use of the fantastic reproxy functionality. The home
page states, "Perlbal is a single-threaded event-based server"... what
does this imply for Perlbal running on a multi-processor machine? Does
Perlbal only utilize one of the processors? Is it a waste to run it on
dual proc, or is there a way to optimize it? Any help with these questions
would be very much appreciated.

In LJ we run dual-processor machines, so we run two copies of Perlbal on
each physical machine, in order to take advantage of the two processors.
