My workaround is only if you need to have multiple virtual webs use a different cluster/local or remote instances. If the site is just using one cluster of local instances, then you get the benefit of failover, and if it's a beefier box, full use of your memory. In theory. I've not done real world load testing on multiple instances/one cluster over one large instance. I'm lacking in good test environments that I can pound away on with impunity.
