OpenMosix will help if if you have a number of severable distinct
processes to run at the same time.  If you have independent database
queries that are computationally costly to make and you have to make a
rather large number of them in a given amount of real time, you can do
them on an OpenMosix cluster up to the point that the queries begin to
bog down the database server either in network I/O or within the
database server itself.
