depends on what you're doing, don't it?

i'm sure you've already tried to split the work load on the SAME server
already...assuming the nasty thing you're wanting to avoid here is the 20
minute wait time. if not, try that...let your os optimize the processing.
other than that, what are you doing that takes 20 minutes...a foreach on a
1mb array on a 100mz i386 w/ 4mb of ram?
