Resource Cost of Multiple Instance of Kontakt

In Ableton I sometimes route multiple tracks to a single instance of Kontakt in the belief that this is a more effective use of the available CPU bandwith. For example, one instance hosting String Session Pro with multiple tracks, each related to its own part of the ensemble.
This is a habit of mine. It appears to me that multiple instance of Kontak should really just use the same code and incur nort greater overhead. Is this correct?

Multiple instances should not use more cpu than a single instance with the same instruments as long as the multiprocessor option is active (either in Kontakt or in Ableton). The only difference is the ram usage. A single instance of Kontakt needs less ram, because the plugin is loaded only a single time.
