Gaming driving supercomputing still makes me feel funny (but then, Ken
Thompson and Belle so...). But I'm picturing ganglionic head nodes with
KillerNic and playstations for compute nodes...

Now that's weird:

* it's an offload engine

#2 is hard, #3 is harder, as traffic shaping isn't very effective
against torrents.
