Can I run multiple FME processes - Will a multi-processor machine help
From Fmepedia
Q) Can I run multiple FME processes? Will a multi-processor machine help?
A) Multiple FME processes are possible on a single machine (as long as your license permits).
However, FME is a single-threaded process and does not determine which processor its single thread will be executed by. It is up to your Operating System to assign processes; if it is intelligent it will assign each FME process to a different processor. The advantage of having a multi-processor machine is that you will be able to do something else while FME is working it's way through a lengthy translation process.
