web garden parameter affects on aspnet_wp process

We've recently set the web garden value to True, on a two processor system, and have noticed that since that change we now have two aspnet_wp processes running. Is that because we are now taking advantage of both processors? If we add this parameter setting to a 4 processor system will we see 4 aspnet_wp processes? I'm asking because during some of your deployments, we need to recycle the aspnet_wp process and will need to update the documentation to reflect why there are multiple of these processes now.
 
Yes, a webgarden causes aspnet worker processes to run on each processor.
Please read this to understand the implications of this model on your
architecture [watch for line wrap]
