It also sounds good to me. As far as I'm aware the only major downside  
to a VM is that one bottle could potentially affect the others in  
terms of load, though with the hardware their describing it sounds  
pretty unlikely that we would encounter any problems with this...

An extra benefit is that it's simpler to monitor one VM/box than two  
like it is now.
