My first thought is actually security, in my case some projects I am  
under NDA so I would not trust content being streamed back and forth  
with a third party. But in reality aren't we all using 3rd party  
servers for our email, so I guess it's a moot point.

Rent-a-render farm, especially an automated version would indeed be  
cool but I think there are way to many variables right now to make it  
worth it as a buisness model.
