Multiple haproxy threads

Hi guys!

So I've done a lot of reading on haproxy, but I have some questions. With our managed hosting provider, multiple-CPU boxes are very cheap and easy to acquire. Would there be any advantage to getting one of these boxes and running two haproxy processes (each reading a different configuration) or would this just be a waste? I would like haproxy to load balance, web, SMTP, IMAP/POP3, etc. so I I was thinking that perhaps running an haproxy process for each cluster would be a swell idea. In general, it sounds like more than one CPU wouldn't be all that helpful with haproxy, but perhaps I'm wrong. Any thoughts?
