Dear Andreas, We have built an small cluster. Please feel free to ask whatever you need. The speed up is evident in our case.
If you wish to know the technical details, we use dual core low end servers with 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, connected with 1 Gbit Ethernet switch, and performance is ok. Our distro is Gentoo Linux, though harder to setup, it provides us with the best control of the things installed ... If you want more details, please contact us. You can see our stats front-end at: http://opclustux.iteam.upv.es:81/ganglia/ Regards, Pascual.
