It's I/O bound stuff, so the CPU is likely not to be the problem. And
generally the eth card would be fatter than the pipe outside.

The local storage on the other hand may be a problem. It's tricky
however. Should a bunch of executables need the same input file, it
would likely be better to transfer it only once on the head node than
multiple times on each worker node.
