Not that I've noticed. Multiuser has gone out of fashion 19:31:25 up 10 days, 21:32, 53 users, load average: 0.10, 0.07, 0.05 but it still works (reboot from upgrading the kernel) Spreading load across a lot of PC's gets you colossal amounts of CPU power but at management cost. The big trick is becoming solving that management problem - replicated system filestores, capacity management, session dump/restore etc. You can run 100 sessions on a 390 but I don't think you get the equivalent of 300Ghz of CPU power.
