Question is, has anyone tried to "rsh" some jobs out to other
         computers (e.g.  on a 100Mb ethernet) to try to shorten the time,
         or would that just mean the network becomes the bottleneck?

I use netpipes instead of rsh, but either way the network shouldn't be
much of a bottleneck given that you're still only talking 4-6 fps at
best.  I run smil2yuv, yuvcorrect, and yuvdenoise on one machine (the
faster one), mpeg2enc on another, with y4mscaler in there somewhere.
The trick is to balance the load, or else one of the CPUs gets wasted.
I don't think a 3rd computer would help much, unless you use both
yuvmedianfilter and yuvdenoise, since after the filtering and encoding
the cpu requirements drop off considerably.  And obviously you can't
send data too many times across the same network to multiple machines
at once, or it will become the bottleneck eventually.
