| Shared memory issues (an alpha release of DSM should be available as of late march 2003). |
| There are issues with Multiple Threads not gaining performance. |
| You won't gain performance when running one single process such as your web browser on an openMosix Cluster: the process won't spread itself over the cluster. Except of course your process will migrate to a more performant machine. |
