The ahead-of-time clsutering code always seemed to be a bit buggy and I 
never saw it used with much success. So I don't really have any 
quantitative performance comparison between that and running something 
like falkon/coasters. I'm pretty convinced that the falkon/coaster 
appraoch is better for job dispatch, but I have no numeric data from 
actual real application executions.
