Using avisynth on two machines

[CogoSWSDS]

While I was poking through the avisynth documentation one day, I discovered two functions, TCPServer and TCPSource. TCPServer appears to turn your PC into a server of a specific clip, then you can use TCPSource on another machine (with AVISynth installed on it, of course) to pull in the clip for further processing. I guess this might be sort of like a render farm. I have a 100 megabit wired network with 2 PCs at home, my question is: With this network, working with DV and AVISynth, will using two PCs for processing in this fashion be quicker than putting the entire load on a single computer? One of the computers is a 2.0GHz single-core running WinXP, the other is a 1GHz single core, also running WinXP. Will it be faster to run the more intense stuff on the 2GHz and the less intense on the 1GHz machine be faster than running all of it on the 2GHz computer, or will the network slow things down more than any speed gain I'd get by running it on two machines? Has anyone tried this?

Mods: If I didn't put this in the right forum, feel free to move me. I'm not certain which forum this would be best posted in.

I've tried it before. Conceptually it's a great idea but I never saw a speed up in render time by doing it.
