Essentially what Željko said. Most people that email me about it seem to be using watirgrid to distribute tests over a small amount (less than 10) remote machines. Sometimes in order to speed up tests (manually carved up and distributed) or to run the same test but in different browsers at the same time.
Not many people have used it for performance testing AFAIK. The main limitation here is how many instances of a browser you can run on a single machine. I'm looking at alternatives in this space (obvious one is htmlunit, but also looking at webkit) There's nothing too fancy about watirgrid, it really just extends watir to allow communication to remote machines running watir from a central machine. It does this using pure Ruby libraries such as DRb. Cheers, Tim -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
