Meh. Still doesn't alter the fact it's four regions on one CPU and you will forever be victim to the laggy habits of the other three (none of whom you will ever know or be able to do anything about).

I can always tell when I land on a 1/4 "region" -- the Lag Monster attacks almost immediately. I'm glad I dumped mine back when.

Actually, I've heard (though I don't recall seeing absolute confirmation) that they're stacking them 12 deep not four these days.

AFAIK, it's typically one sim or four homesteads to a core, four cores to a CPU. So that would actually be *16* homesteads to a CPU.
Since performance reasons were cited as the reason for the price hike, there were speculations that LL could use the extra money to run homesteads on more machines than they did openspaces (like, say, 3-to-a-core, 12-to-a-CPU), but I have not seen anything about them actually doing so.
