  If your process is doing mostly Input/Output then OpenMosix will 
decide its not worth migrating since most of its work is being done on 
the home node.

  If you can stick some calculations in there then it might become CPU 
intensive enough to warrant migrating - in fact if you get rid of the 
'echo' command that might suffice.
