I have a twisted TCP server to listens to client, processes requests, do mysql database operations if needed (using adbapi Connection pool) and return the result. Before deploying this in production, I want to know right way to configure the server. 

Since twisted is single threaded, how can I leverage multiple cores of my production machine (which has 6 cores and 16 GB RAM) ?

One approach that I thought of was to start multiple instances of twisted server on different ports. This would help in using the other cores as well. What do you guys suggest ?

Thanks
