Worker Farm uses complete child processes with data-channel communication (via a pipe, as provided by Node's child_process.fork()). So, in terms of computing performance it should be pretty good but the communication may start letting you down if you're throwing lots of data around.
The main benefit is in the simplicity and durability, but don't use it unless you have a good use-case for it that goes beyond what a single Node process affords you.
