It makes it easy to remove users and if part of the users are inactive for long periods of time, you can use dynamic loading of cores. That is under the presumption that you will have a few thousand clients. If your expected scale is millions, I am not sure it will work. - Toke Eskildsen, State and University Library, Denmark
