can MapServer run on multiple cpu machines?

[Xin]

Hi,

Can MapServer run on multiple cpu machines? This would save us some money by
buying dual cpu machines, rather than single ones. Since we'll be able to
have a lot more processing power for less machines. I was just on the phone
to people at Rackspace, and they tell me the application has to be
multithreaded. Is MapServer multithreaded?

Also, can mapserver take full advantage of dual cores? I read somewhere that
they are different to dual cpus. Forgive me if they are!

Appreciate the help.

Cheers,
Xin
