There are a few uses - mostly related to OSX anyways though. A buttload of Macs is very useful for automated testing of OSX or iOS apps, for example.
That said, the bottleneck for this type of usage isn't performance - you'd have to wait 200ms between taps anyways, so why bother with a fast machine?
I'm having trouble seeing any use for this sort of thing. The main uses for hosted Macs are very, very well covered by a boatload of Mac Minis - they're a lot more cost effective also.
