Each of the oninit process you see is a VP class, (virtual process). That is, one for CPU VP, NET VP, MISC VP ... and so on. I think six or seven is the minimum number of VPs or oinit that you can have. And of course, you can have more, in fact, you can dynamically increase the number of oninit process without shuting down. > In the older version a single tbinit would be started.
