Essentiallly, Alfresco "native" clustering cababilities boil down to
transaction safe jvm memory caches sychronized between nodes. Hence, it
reduces the amount of network roundtrips. IIRC, this applies to both,
the repo and share. Getting this right is quite a bit of effort.

Are you sure these capabilities address your painpoints?
