Also, as performance becomes more and more important, it's going to be
necessary also to perhaps use seperate databases for
production/development, not to mention for reliability.  I know this
isn't a problem yet, but certainly it could be very soon with a
successful implementation.  I know we always ran seperate versions of
Oracle for test/development (for other reasons too) on seperate
machines, even though "slow conections" werent' the issue.  

Even if you could show that it shouldn't be a concern, it is how people
do things, and they aren't want to change :-)
