OK, thanks for you response, I understand your point. But what should I do, if there's a need for better perfomance and customer says "well, I could buy another CPU or more RAM, but I have also an extra unused machine here - couldn't we use it instead of buying new CPU or RAM?" Should I try to explaint him it's not a good idea?
I thought splitting my app between two machines should also give me a significant performance even though the serialization overhead, shouldn't it?
