It's more a question of the scalability of distributed components vs. the
scalability of efficient interfaces.

In one case, more CPUs can be added to the farm, in the other case,
applications themselves use less CPU time.

An architecture that used say 1/10 the amount of CPU time while running on
one (1) CPU would be more scalable than an architecture where components
could be distributed across ten (10) CPUs.

The dilemma for developers is that broadening the scope of Java applications
will ultimately lead to a requirement for distributed components.

J2EE is a distributed architecture, and must be so, simply because any
broadly scoped 100% Java application, separating user interface, business
logic, control logic, and database I/O into separate components, will be a
comparatively CPU intensive proposition.
