A good point, I concede.  I do likewise, but not through forethought
and I certainly acknowledge the benefits.

It sounds like we no longer ought to treat the CPU server as a
shareable resource as much as a distribution element.  The workstation
happens to be a similar, if not identical element of the variety that
focusses on graphical presentation.

In such case, only serious iron needs to serve "cpu" cycles with
"drawterm" being more a means to relocate the workstation from in
front of you to where it is permitted.  Hm, this bit needs more
careful thinking, I'm not presenting the picture very clearly,
probably because I don't see it very clearly :-)
