If DomIII could be tweaked to prevent temp file collisions (directory for each savegame perhaps, store temp files there?), then you could have a very large number of games running on a modest box, the only thing to work out is the queuing to throttle simultaneous processing of turns, so each instance isn't starved out of processor and memory resources.

On windows Dom uses %tmp%\domWXYZ\ where WXYZ is a random number. Therefore it already uses temp directories with random folder names which are supposed to be unique - but somehow it doesn't work out that way sometimes for unknown reason.
Don't know where dom puts its files under linux -better ask Gandalf about that- but I guess it will be very similar.
