In version 5.2.8 of prpclient for Linux, prpclient.ini contains a cpu_affinity parameter that may or may not work (it didn't do anything for me). Here are script changes for this client to run each program instance on a separate core (core numbers start at 0).

1) Change programs/startx.sh before "installing" the working directories, to contain

taskset -c `dc -e "$1 1 - p"` ./prpclient

2) Change the start script you use (in this example 2-dual-start-prpclient.sh) to contain
for x in {1..2}; do pushd prpclient-$x; xterm -T prpclient-$x -e ./startx.sh $x & popd; done

In Debian-based distros:
dc is part of the dc package (desk calculator)
taskset is part of the util-linux package (Linux utilities)
