I was on a team that used CORBA to distribute across five machines: input, output, logic, UI, and whatever the CORBA object discovery thing was. (I don’t know what they were thinking.)

They didn’t try to run it all together until it was time to ship.

Networking overhead definitely killed us. That, and incompetence.
