Summand, what kind of advice would you have likes if not opting for the 'all options' one? I'm not sure if there would be an universal answer which doesn't list all the options, but maybe you mean the list of all options should be easier to read instead of not given?

But after turning one instance off, that was gone too. I think, I will keep it that way and turn of one instance when I start something with high cpu usage.

About the installation:
I simply got confused because I found several different articles in internet and they all described different setup. Basically smp and setting up multiple instances. I somewhat mixed them up assuming that only with the smp client multiple cores can be used and that I had to install 2 instances and ...

The problem is that everyone basically either describes all options(which is a bit much for a beginner) or the setup for their system.

Sounds like you found a good solution.

Rather than searching the internet, the Install Guides on the project web site are basic and very helpful for the begginner. And we'd help you mix and match as needed. ;)
