Input from those running multiple accounts on one machine.

Having the Low Quality Renderer enabled is key to getting decent FPS with 5 accounts on a single machine.
You really should overclock your CPU. There are plenty of guides and as long as you aren't messing with Voltages, you run no risk of damaging your hardware. The worst that could happen is your comp locks up.
Also, keep background instances running at a minimum rate ~10FPS.

Thanks for the tips.

Are you setting the background instances to 10 frames in IS Boxer? If so, where is that setting?

are you running the clients from the same game directory ?

Where are the settings stored ? Registry or file ?

One install, one directory. It does ok with all 5 running, just once in a while you get a little stalling or a character drops off follow. Usually during large rifts or in town.

As far as i know the SLI Nvidia Optimization was not in yet, unless it was patched in the yesterday/for release day. They stated in their head-start podcast interview that they only had the ATI Crossfire optimization in. Last i heard is they were still working with Nvidia to get that done. Ill see if i can find any patch notes pertaining to SLI/dual Nvidia updates.

I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. This will certainly help some once it is implemented.

For low rendering you are talking about settings in Rift correct? If so, yeah I have them all turned down except the main.
