Pretty much if it has more than one CPU, then you will get more benefit
using classic, otherwise you have to tie the process to a single CPU to
avoid bouncing between them.

Superserver has the advantage of avoiding some page management messing
around, but on a SMP machine, this tends to cause the see saw affect.
It is also cheaper (on windows) to create a thread than a process.

That probably answers your other questions.
