http://ask.github.com/celery/getting-started/introduction.html . The
idea is to send "jobs/tasks" to a remote server that does the grunt
work and retrieve the result later ( possibly from a db) when it is
available. One obvious use case is when you don't want a web page to
"hang" even if you're doing something cpu/db-heavy on the server (e.g.
deleting/updating millions of entries in a database). Scaling this
straightforward: just add another machine itself running celery too.
That's the basic idea of the notebook redesign. See

I hadn't heard of celery. Thanks for the link. It seems that it might
