Well it isn't able to take advantage of multiple, we have SS running
on an 4 x Xeon (dual core) server and it does the job quite well.
Although it only uses 1 of the 8 cores, the shared cache allows it to
work. I am considering installing CS on that machine when the customer
starts to do more analytical reporting that can clog up SS.

Your other core can still be used by ASTA or other Windows services.
If there is heavy queries, use classic, otherwise stick with the
shared cache of SS.
