We tried this in spring this year.
With 8 instances running we had many performance problems (1 GhZ linux 
machine with 1 GB RAM). Each instance needs to have its own database 
(within one mysql-server of course).

Additionally there is an administration issue with this solution, you 
need to keep 8 applications up and running inkl. user management and 
backups. Also the sub-administration rights are difficult to manage.
