Interesting. I setup a complete copy of the wow install on a separate drive for each with the thought that it would reduce the HDD bottleneck while loading multiple instances. I symlinked most of the configuration stuff but didn't even think of symlinking all the data files. I wonder how running how multiple instances from one data install compares to multiple hard drives. Maybe HDD cacheing would speed up load times (as more often than not the majority of the stuff you're loading is the same.) I'm definitely going to try this out.
