It's useful on big nodes. Due to technical limitations in how Tor handle multicore, we need to run multiple daemons on a same host so it scales better with the CPU.
Multiple tor instances can even be useful on systems with low bandwidth (i.e. 10MBit/s) because their consensus weight is so low that they wouldn't attract "enough traffic" (=far from using the entire bw) otherwise (without running more than one instance). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJU8uK+AAoJEFv7XvVCELh0QwUQAJ4OjzYmRhM7oGsnCPtO5KU/ hvzfHkoy1JIuH2N7df/xeMll1gynzt5FO7LZOWt2xC30UsF9njf0axTc+0LSK3dH qZxVakuFDagFBxTXFhG91k14ObbXubE6nrX5qE1aoF7a6zR22F2ePttygkEZP6Q1 ORDRkWCjYlKcDfONlwjwm09II+q3fCLSAyxskPcFyN2fN4HKqW6e8Z46Ki84RRYT ZCvtAZRpsABKMf3GJEK5jr6/QlSMrmLSde6ziYTXogCaepWtLXP6xtxoNEN2UQpn iPBG7fr36OLRuFiOeclmoCFq4/tCRugUI9fPrZV+uVurx9DTMiVHDHmSmN4yPjdx 2hNGolePF/r8G8wW2T3Sjshuql53S16kbsEGmACF/oUReHcPM6duY+upbCHe3ZQn 5NQ42m7olDl9xxYKGynLAW1M3jNcDnhcwz+wNZb/7yf9vRrK+SjFi/5Fdibp+5x0 G+DEXoDC2cG4F1N6+yL+tqvJoFf9Dn9H+3/RWM2LVeeikChaT/h2hLpvL6h1ANuN HSX72r8kd8vA6kivGTXqEGK+DOPUohbyjymveuiz8XW1pKeOONRO1hPAURwrbw+Y IBcGdWuhqQuIkLYQenxJMjAZ6m/kgG/jmqE64JFD5RIDjKAbI8D7B7nVtYXWuK5B P7FRD3PR9hlW+wOv4Ve4 =TbQm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
