well my circumstance the bit unique. i think.

iv got 2 work station

workstation A is a I7 4790 and a GTX 550i
workstation B is a I7 3770k and a GTX 580.

when i do DIS with this 2 workstation with progressive i cant control the amount of render on each station form my perspective its split 50 50. when workstation the faster workstation fishes before the other my frame is hanged because of the slower one.

my argumetn for bucks is that when the faster workstation renders the image through bucks it renders more of the image then the slower workstation so the work load is split as to which computer renders faster ( e.g. 70/30 because the faster one has done more of the image).

it also harder to identify the slower station to debug.

iv got bunch of therotical idea as to it befit for memory but blago killed dose ideas! (thank you blago)

one of the Big one for me is It would make it easier to get RT in to nuke.

I was hoping to get a bigger response from the community dough to see what others think of this?

Well, in general it is possible to do better load balancing for the progressive sampling and Blago actually did this a while ago, though it didn't go into any build. Maybe we need to get back to this.

It's because I haven't decided how I feel about it.
