It seems technology has leaped again, maybe CCP should consider a new round of Yarrdware.
Linkage
Weta is running four clusters that are each equipped with 156 of HP's new 2-in-1 blade servers, and use liquid cooling to manage the heat loads. The Weta render farms currently hold spots 219 through 222 on the current Top 500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers.
CCP, it's time to seriously pursue a spot on this list. GOOOOOO.
Note: I don't think we need any more picture of Oveur with a blow up doll and a pink wig. But I maybe Helmar this time?

Actually, CCP is upgrading to the Skynet (tm) cluster. Perhaps you should read up on things.

So EVE is going P2P? Cool, I've always thought a properly implemented P2P architecture could handle a much larger game than could be accomplished as a sever<>Client system.

To the OP:
Sadly, a cluster like that does not solve the inherent problem that EVE has, which is: any fleet combat must run on a single CPU core. Thus throwing more CPUs at it has almost no effect at all.
What CCP needs is a more effective CPU, or a way to split up the load.
Hop on eve-search.com and look for posts on "HPC", there was a big thread on it here in the General Forum a while ago with lots of dev responses.
