I find the General tab of the Options dialog in Maple 11 has a section for the Mathematical Engine.  The user is given the choice of a new engine for each document or to share one engine among all documents.  I am running a Intel Core 2 Duo so I presume that I should enable SMP support.  But, I don't know what factors to consider when deciding on the use of shared or multiple engines.

Are there specific tradeoffs to consider?  Does the use of a shared engines save memory or increase performance?
