So much I can't understand here. Why would the load matter- is this a web app? Why would that possibly be a good idea? This seems like software that should run locally, for security, assurance, and auditability reasons. Follow up thought: When software results are this critical, I wonder if a totally separate program should be used as well and result compared. An independent implementation from another vendor.
