[fluid-dev] Multiple fluidsynth instances or all-in-one?

On an SMP system (Intel Core Duo), does fluidsynth spawn off child 
threads/processes for each midi channel active?

Right now I have multiple fluidsynth instances, one for each MIDI instrument, 
and I patch them using qjackctl. I suppose I could also have only one 
fluidsynth instance, with all my soundfonts loaded, and use fluidsynth's 
routing and different MIDI channels to send the various signals to the correct 
instrument.

Which approach would make the most sense on an SMP machine?
