Do you have any statistics to back this up, or is this a impression that
you get?  It seems to me that running a job on the workstation takes up
just as much of the server's resources as running it on the server would.

Can anyone else comment knowledgeably on this subject?

[[ How do you know that that was the "good" reason?  To answer your
question: it depends on what the program is doing.  If it is CPU intensive
without generating many or any page faults, then clearly it will put a far
greater load on a server if run there than if run on the client.  --wnl ]]
