Nope, you'll see no benefit. Salim, what's the issue?
s
CPU utilization high
Q: Will adding CPU cores to a single NetScaler VPX instance increase the performance of that instance? A: Depending on the license, a NetScaler VPX instance can use up to 4 vCPU today. Adding additional CPU to a NetScaler VPX instance that can use more CPUs will increase the performance.

Do you apply CPU yield recommendations ?

Management CPU or the Packet engine?

Do you have AppFlow enabled?

let me check
someone else was managing that NS

That'll kill the management cpu, if your having issues with the packet flow switch your ssl cipher group down to default. You will squeeze a few more session out of it.

The Q+A that was posted above is misleading. As mentioned earlier, even if you assign more than 2 cores to a VPX with a 200Mbit license, it will still only use one core for management and one core for a single packet engine. Julien's link has the correct breakdown of perpetual license and max packet engines supported
