Given plenty of RAM, a muti-core CPU and a single IP address, which is more efficient:

Tor does not scale well across multiple cores. If you hit a single core limit, you will have to spin up more processes. NumCPU does not help much.
While we are on this topic, is there a limit on the number of nodes per IP address? I have two nodes running on one IP (different ports), tried adding a third one, but it can't seem to be able to register:
