to use multiple cores, you need multiple processes or threads in your
application.
question: is this processing happening as fast as the network and disk
can supply data? an app processing data from a single network
connection and using a single database connection is not going to
achieve much concurrency.
btw, centos 5.4 is /way/ old, you're missing 5 years of security and bug
fixes. 5.10 was released last october. a simple `yum update` will
bring all repository packages up to the current fix level.
