Interfaces come with a lot of overhead so you normally wouldn't
use them unless you're writing a distributed app. You could throw
in more of faster hardware to compensate, but then you could just
throw in more RAM/disk space and have everything linked statically.
That's probably cheaper on hardware side and is sure cheaper on
the side of software development/maintenance.
