Even if your MIPS in the workstation are wasted, it might still be worthwhile
to put them there. It all depends on how much the MIPS cost. Certainly if you
have a 20 MIPS processor in a $2000 box, it really doesn't matter that you
only need a 0.5 MIPS processor in a $1800 box... the marginal cost of the
extra 19.5 MIPS is low enough that you might as well get them. If they go
to waste 95% of the time, who cares?
Too bad you can't run NeWS on it and really benefit from those extra server
CPU cycles...
