about crossover setup

Hello,

I am new here, could someone tell me how to setup crossover to maxium the performance of cpu ?

I now have a mac mini m4 cpu with 10cores, and need to run 5 same copy of windows app at same time,

my question is:

should I install 5 copies of crossover,then install only 1 copy of app with each 5 container ?
or just install 1 crossover then install 5 app with this container?

thx in adv.

The most performance should be a single bottle (container), but it shouldn't be that big of a difference.
I would look more if the application has problems if it's installed multiple times in the same windows environment. If not, I would use a single bottle.

Testing what?
What is better in performance? I did not test this, but I know enough about Linux/UNIX/MacOS process handling and wine (the base of crossover) that I'm confident it should behave this way, because there is no reason for doing it otherwise (but there could be a bug or special behavior of course). I think there are not that many people who use the same program in multiple different instances with separate installation. I for myself have a program I start multiple times in a bottle, but with the same installation.
The best would be a single installation with multiple configurations if this would be possible. But as you said nothing about the program even a test wouldn't help, because it may differ depending on the program.
