I doubt I'll be running 4 heavy cpu-bound processes on a 4-core system, I'd prefer to leave 1 core "free" for all the rest of monitoring/logging tasks. What causes the CPU overload in such a case? Currently I keep a custom many-to-many like structure, which has O(1) access time and need to forward the same message to N clients that are returned from that structure, for each incoming packet, at worst. I could potentially pre-pack the exact network message to avoid generating it for each of them, which at this point is the largest overhead. Although I'm not sure how much I can save like that.
