Xgrid is present on every Mac OS X computer running Tiger (10.4) or greater.
Et cetera.
Suggestions:
1) use distributed computing to ease the server/processing requirements of Diigo
2) whilst the computer is processing for Diigo, present to the user something that's relevant to their use of Diigo
3) that presentation might be a screen saver, a cloud of words within which legible words (above a certain point size) become clickable.
AFAIK Digg do something like this with Flash.
Motivations:
* cloud on a time line, which would certainly require some processing power.
* occasional forum references to delays.
@ Diigo, a question:
Could distributed computing, as outlined in this topic, have a positive effect on load/performance of any Diigo service?
A considerately designed screen saver would be welcomed.
For such screen savers, BOINC is a popular choice.

Precautions, against anything resembling the unacceptable super-node behaviour of Sykpe:

With those highlights in mind, a design for any locally-installed Diigo application for should:
a) be generally acceptable in enterprise environments (not make inconsiderate use of network resources)
and
b) not require patching by end users or system/network administrators.
