Perhaps, but if you have 'n' machines, and render frames 1 through n-1 
simultaneously, then you can have a look to see if the first n frames 
animate properly.  If you do 1-n on one, n+1-2n on the next, then you 
have to wait for the first machine to finish all of its frames before 
combining them into an animation.
