More specifically, my question is:
How does PD's performance scale when the number of available
processing units increases from 2 to 4 and to 8 cores? Is the main
engine written in such a way as to take advantage of this, or is it
primarily a single-threaded?
Pd's engine is a single thread, it will use at most 100% of *one* core. Pd's gui is a single thread, it will use at most 100% of *one* core.
The communication between engine <--> gui is suboptimal, which might limit things, but unlikely.
Besides running multiple copies of Pd, how does Pd scale on many-cpu
systems?
It doesn't.
