any particular reason for running each soft IOC on a box of its own? I
know people are happily running a dozen or more on a pretty standard box

Not objecting, just curious...
Hey Ralph....
We had to sit here for a few minutes to try and remember why we didn't go that
direction.
The reason is that in our initial testing, we found problems with the timeliness
of sending out Channel Access messages from the IOC if there were multiple IOC's
running on the same CPU.
More specifically, we were controlling a power supply through a knob interface
that we developed, and if there were other IOC's running, such as one
communicating periodically with our modicon PLC, control messages to the power
supply would "stack up".
Also, we decided that we wanted to compartmentalize our IOC's by fuctionality.
That way, if we lose a CPU for some reason, we only have one IOC that that stops
working.
