Actually, the machine resource you run out of first, when you ramp up the number of copies of eValid running in parallel, is RAM.
Beyond about 20 eValid's in parallel you need to make some "machine adjustments," by which is meant that you need to go into the registry and change the size of the heap space and some other OS-internal properties. Once that's done you will be able to get 100+ eValid's -- and maybe a lot more.
From what we've seen, you don't run out of input/output bandwidth at all -- with the exception of playback scripts that do a VERY large amount of file downloading. In most cases you are out of RAM, have the CPU hitting 100% some of the time, and you have only 10% of the I/O used.
