Probably is something stupid, but could that be done with ndb cluster
on a single host? Anyway, I suppose performance loses on distributed
joins and so on would outcome multiple-core benefits. And for most
queries, the bottleneck is usually on disk access, not processor. Has
anybody done any serious testing on this?
