Re-posting. I'm not sure if it's only my ISP acting up. According to 
internettrafficreport.com, South America has an speed index of 39!

There is a web-based job submission script for the impfarm software, but 
it wasn't too tested... I don't think anyone has sent any work on 
impfarm for a year.

What I linked to is all my own stuff. It's technically independent from 
the IMP farm (the one with the Perl client); just happens to be hosted 
on IMP server. Job submission there is even worse. I manually run a 
script on the server, via ssh.
And the script is kinda ugly. Coincidentally, I was *just* about to 
rewrite to support dynamic tiling: changing the size of tiles to try 
making them all take approximately the same time (to avoid 3-second 
tiles with just the background and 1-hour tiles in the middle of glass 
objects).
