The only way you'd see any difference in speed is if the programs are programmed
to be used in a parallel system, or 'optomized' for it. just what i read.

am aware of the fact that it will not be the _fastest_ system around, but it
would be interesting to do. Also, considering that when you have 10 odd
computers, that may not be the fastest around, and can only be used one at a
time, why not have them work together? The last thing I thought I'd see on
the list was someone discouraging someone to try something.
I think you should do it. I have a batch of Mac IIfx and I may try a
parallel arrangement with them one of my friends told me about.
As an experiment lots is to be learned from this. I don't however have any
plans to "use" it.
For a start I suggest looking at some of the encryption cracking efforts.
