Distributed computing is useful for big batch computations, not realtime processes like Dolphin. You'd have to ship way too much state back and forth over the network every frame, and the code complexity of doing it ... *shudder*. Not gonna happen.

This is somewhat more realistic but the compilation takes less than 1% of the time already, so you'd be looking at a 1% speedup, at most.
