I would agree. I can run two instances on my machine, and they both run equally 'good' or equally 'bad' depending upon how you look at it, in other words, I don't really take a performance hit in either instance from running two or said another way, running two doesn't run any worse than running one.

The thing that is noticeable is how bad a single instance is. It becomes really obvious when you can run 2 instances side by side, and see it has nothing to do with the machine, but its the game code that is the root cause of poor performance, rather than a lack of system resources.
