OM seems to be of use in an environment where its power is needed - not a home system. short lived threads such as gcc rarely migrate, and when a thread or system dies, often every system in the cluster falls over as well. ssh often migrated for some reason, and then died. The best way to parrallelise a home system is distcc, other than that, grids and job sharing get very complex.
That is not to say OM useless, but that it is best used for what it is designed for - and it does that very well. Last ran it 6 months ago on a 3 system cluster.
