Hi Hans,

By default (without the 'workers' setting), OpenERP will be in threading 
mode for handling concurrent requests. Because of python's 'GIL' 
limitation, python application (OpenERP in this case)  has no ability to 
scale for multiple cores. However, OpenERP can switch to multi-process 
mode (by configuring the 'workers' setting) to take advantage of the 
multi-core on your server.

Gunicorn is not needed since OpenERP V7 as the feature is already 
implemented in OpenERP.

Setting workers is really easy, just follow the following formula:

--workers=$((1+${CORES}*2)) (so, 2 cores on the server, workers should be 5, 4 cores to 9, and so on and so forth)

workers setting will only boost up the concurrent process. The importing 
process causing the system slow could be due to other reason.

Hope this information will help.

Good luck.
