250,000 should not be a problem on one CPU.   Profile the code, natively 
compile and optimize the crucial bits.  Write core loops in C if you 
have to.  Buy a copy of Intel VTune to really see what is going on to 
please or displease the processor.   I've run half a million agents in 
Swarm on an ordinary Athlon 64 in under 2GB.
