I'd say a tentative 'no' on that one; the 'slave' still has to load all the scenery and aircraft meshes etc and would probably still demand a fair chunk of CPU time. The best solution would be a second machine as the slave; perhaps you could stretch to a used system of simmilar specs to your current one. You can always _try_ the slave on the same machine (not sure if it works with loop-back tho) and see how it behaves. If you want to see improvements in frame-rate, a decent but low-end Nvidia GPU will help a lot.
