[Pd] splitting Pd on two processors

For example:
One computer running a complete pd instance with the gui and physical 
controllers, the other running a (-nogui) pd doing the "work",
and both instances communicating via OSC.

Would that work (well)?
(well, this scenario would also make sense on Dual Core processors, 
isn't it?)
