I've run a small render farm back when I did forensic animations -- but
you don't have to have the computers connected for a render farm. But
yeah, if I have 100 images and want to do ffts on all of them, I can run
scripts on five machines that do 20 each. I'd like to see if a "real"
cluster would improve stuff. In addition, some of the software I've
used supports real parallelism.
