Something similar has been discussed previously. I found one good
quote from Andy:

I think that this suggestion would work here too, because it was
mentioned that running EMC on a virtual machine will have enormous
jitter. With all due respect to members of EMC community, I doubt that
we can fix that, so I think that Your second suggestion on
virtualization is denied.
I think that instead of trying to reinvent the wheel and run several
instances of EMC on a single PC and getting into trouble of
synchronizing them, I think that investigating the option of expanding
current capabilities of interpreter and adding few more axes might be
easier.
As Andy mentioned, joints_axes_3 branch already should allow for a
total number of joints to exceed 9.
