Tom,

Excellent description!

I find your assertion that using two different boxes and the network is
faster than both apps on the same box.  Intuitively I would have guessed
that due to loading, but most folks do just the opposite assuming the
network will be the bottleneck.  With today's network hardware, rarely will
the network bottleneck.
