Mainly horsepower, but it does also provide some redundancy, which is nice

That's probably the solution that I will use, a couple of people have
suggested it. I was also thinking about unison or rysnc, but I think NFS
will suit better :)

Thanks for the comments. I am thinking that to make the session stuff
easier, I might just keep the user on one server once they have logged in,
but have PHP dynamically choose a node to load an image and run DB queries
from...
