Nothing beats actual test-your-code numbers but if that's not practical
summing up the published specrate-fp numbers is usually a fairly good
approx for a mixed load.
Also having two nodes instead of one is significantly more work to
maintain, but four instead of two is not much of a difference (=>
volume and practical matters matter).
