This was *literally* my next idea! You have a few more things thought out, but the idea is to pipe data from machine to machine, so as to treat lower end devices as thin clients of the more powerful device by piping in data, so the compiler runs on the faster machine, and the editor itself runs on your portable laptop.

I really like the idea of baking in cluster management. Hot-swappable compute management could allow an office to scale compute without needing a server room. Your desks *are* the server room! Flippin' sweet.
