Yeah, that's exactly why I'd prefer to get more 90% efficiency on one 
single node, before scaling up to the full cluster range. 

I know I will lose more when scaling up, and if I start with only 70% 
efficiency locally, I probably won't get much more that 50% on the whole 
thing, with the interconnect overhead, right?
