So 145001 of everything - 10215 of MIT-threads is approx. 135,000,

Unix can run on x86, I am running it on my Intel desktop just fine as
well as on our web/database server (Linux). to instances of mysql daemon
can co-exist peacefully on one machine if:
- they are fighting over the same TCP port (tell one to move off to a
different port)
- they are not fighting over the same Unix socket ( tell one of them to
move off to a different socket)
- OS implements reliable file locking mechanism
