Not if you have multiple machines you can use for rendering. :-)  True 
that the tool doesn't seem to have that functionality yet, but that would 
be my first enhancement request - a job control system that let you farm 
the job out to multiple networked machines.  (I know that's not a new 
idea, though).

If you run in an environment that supports true clustered computing, 
though, I could see this being helpful even without a job control 
system.  I want to say Mepis provides this functionality (clustered 
processing), but I might be thinking of something else.
