Depends on the situation and the distance of the scene. In Gone With The Wind one of the huge injured battlefield scenes they had like 2 or 3 dummies per live person, and that person would secretly pull a couple of ropes to create movement in the dummies next to them. Seen from a distance it all looked quite real.

Right, but that was from before computers even. From at least the early 90s they would at most film a small cluster of people and replicate them throughout the scene.
