Does Tomcat (4.x or 5.x) support multi-CPUs?

Off the top of my head I'd say that is not a Tomcat issue, rather it's a JVM
issue.

Tomcat runs in the context of a JVM, so if the JVM support a single
processor then that's all that Tomcat can use. If the JVM supports multiple
then it may spread the load.

Tomcat as itself is multi threaded so if the JVM supports multi processors
then it might use them, but it's JVM dependant.

It might be worth taking a look at the JVM docs to see what they say about
multi processor usage

Tomcat does use multiple threads, and if it's run on any common virtual
machine, it will therefore also make use of multiple CPUs.
