How good is multi-core support?

[PancakeBimmer]

How well is BlueIris optimized for machines with a hefty amount of cores? I have been thinking about grabbing a "spare" machine (dual-socket 8 core) for a remote office that will run 24 cameras (3mp, direct2disk) along with some windows services, but wonder how well BI will scale. Perhaps it may be better to keep those two separate but higher-ups insist on single machine.

Welcome to the forum, what processors does the machines have?
