This is a concept that has developed in the Windows world because a lot
of the .net web server tech tends to share state per-process. In order
to have multiple backend processes running on a single server you
generally have to play games with information sharing between processes.
It's just another reason web services on Windows can be such a pain in
the ass.

We've found it easier to hire more web sharecroppers when yields aren't
sufficient.
