The company that I work for in San Francisco is currently testing the
dynamic load balancing program.  We have 6 11/780's, and 7 MicroVax II's
all in a network of Ethernet, DecNet and 19.2KB data lines.

Once that load balancer started running, we instantly saw that hard page
faults dropped 35%.  We also had 5 meg of memory become available that was
able to be re-allocated to other resources.

All in all, it does pretty good of managing system resources.
