Speed - this would be a killer, local disks are at 2-4 Mb/s with fast
EIDE, the net just can't keep up with this. Propagation of local
binaries is done via rdist, as long as they are placed in /usr/local.
Of course this means having rules for programs which require
machine-specific configuration using the "special", for example Condor
(batch processing), etc.
