    I've got a 2 x 2.93ghz 12-core Mac Pro with 32gb of ram and I set up multiprocessing like this:

    Installed RAM: 32GB
    RAM reserved for other apps: 4GB
    RAM for AE: 28gb

    yes for Multiple frame render
    Installed CPU cores: 24
    CPUs for other apps: 2
    RAM per background CPU: 1GB
    Actual CPUs to be used: 22

    I render out 5k Pro Res 4:4:4 files from a Red Epic-M and these seemed to be the most efficient settings for that. They work fantastic for 1080p as well.

    rendering multiple frames at once can have mixed results I've found. I don't always use it when rendering complex 5k files. Just play with it and take note of the render times.
