Do you mean 'rush cpus' (ie. how many instances of rush renders),
or 'physical cpus'?
Rush cpus can be controlled in several ways; the 'CPUS' column in the
rush/etc/hosts file, the Ram: value when a user submits, 'rush -reserve'.
Physical cpus can be limited on windows machines using "processor affinity"
in the rush/etc/hosts file, eg:
http://seriss.com/cgi-bin/rush/newsgroup-threaded.cgi?-view+1899+1898+1899+1900+1905
The 102.42a9c version of rush supports this for windows only,
the next release of rush will also support it for linux.
AFAIK, OSX's kernel does not yet support processor affinity.
