Re: INE on GNS3 VOL II

 By and large: If you have the RIGHT idle PC set with the IOS you are using,
you might run 4 or 14 routers, the cpu will remain around 5 to 15%
regardless of how many routers you loaded, only if the idle pc is calculated
properly.

I advise loading 2 different instances of dynamips and sharing resources
among them. (For example, I set up R1-R6 to Dynamips instance #1 and B1-BB3,
SW1-SW4 to instance #2).

Rgs,
