What I have seen is mostly for reliability and security. If obviously will be faster if you have a scenario where you have a honking huge machine such as what Cutter was referring to.
I prefer to go the other way and get lots of cheap less powered servers and do the hardware load balancing thing. We tend to get 1U 1 CPU machines and get a lot of them. Our biggest thing was uptime and we found that this method helped that. It tended to be faster for us just because our main application was somewhat poorly written and had a lot of long running queries that would take up threads and lock a machine up while it ran. The load balancer would take this in to account and route traffic to the other servers... thus giving us a faster application overall. J.J.
