They have that, but it costs extra money to get an additional front-end machine.

Correct, and the new X1 seems to require a front-end machine from what I have heard.iii) the optimizer is very aggressive, checking every piece of code for vectorization and parallelization possibilities, which makes it even slower. I don't think your PC compiler does that.There's no reason it couldn't, though.
