That's not how it works since each instance can handle multiple requests (up to 1000 per instance). So you may set this to scale at say 75% load level.

Indeed if you configured each instance as a single threaded handler, you will not have fun.

The mechanisms are so completely different they're hard to even make meaningful comparisons between
