With multiple instances option enabled, each instance is like a new job with different parameters. Running many of them in parallel will give you more thruput and more cpu utilization.

In server jobs, if you want to take advantage of hardware resources and get your processing done faster, jobs with multiple instances is way to go.

I found using this feature in server jobs very effective in terms of performance when I have multiple CPU's available, and have lot of processing to do where you can partition your source data(may be over Giga byte size file processing or DB loading).
