That's too bad. I'll take your word for it that jackdmp wouldn't be able to manage the inter-process connection in a scalable way -- I'm not familiar with how it works. I'm disappointed, because it sounded like a cheap (and yes, slightly inconvenient -- but better than nothing) way to scale up PD with SMP.
if you can split your pd patches to a small number of instances (say 10), you'd probably have some benefit ... running 50 instances of pd is probably not a good idea ...
