Or quite possibly the other way around.  Think about all of the things 
that would need to be taken into account to provide all the benefits of 
multiple instances in a single instance, all the way down to global 
vars, then compare with the one-time hit of a few seconds to make a copy 
of the app and put it in your Dock.

Four. :)

At least that's how many I have installed.  And I can't say I've ever 
used more than three of them at once.

You shouldn't need to shut down the current instance.  You can make a 
copy of the app at any time.
