It should be related to the installation not the machine. So its okay
for a single machine to have multiple ids. You might want to decide to
render with batik in one installation and with inkscape in the other.

For example on a 8 CPU 128GB machine i have 3 instances with fork=2 e.g.
4 processes. I'll never exhaust the memory but typically let the cpus
idle while waiting for download of data.

All of the 3 instances should have their own id as one of them might to
decide to go to lala land by trashing config or excutables.
