Your cgi will keep the other CPU occupied, or run two of them. thttpd has
superb scaling properties compared to say apache.

I think with 8 CPUs and 8 NICs (usual benchmark setup) you want more than 1 cpu

That's a good benchmark setup when the benchmark requires a single machine.

In the real world it often makes a lot of sense though to use a cluster
of cheap single CPU machines behind a load balancer (gives you better fault 
tolerance and is likely cheaper) 

For these thttpd is a nice web server.
