     Yes, Queue Manager really works.  Obviously, it handles network rendering, but even if you only have one computer you may find it useful for running a batch of renders. 

     Often when testing a new model, I'll set up a scene with several cameras, each focused on a different part of the model.  I can then send a render from each camera view to queue, and walk away.  QMgr will run the renders one by one on its own.  Currently, QMgr does not distribute a single render across a network.  It can distribute animation frames, or separate renders of a batch to each machine.

     P.S.  In this context, each computer cooperating in network rendering is a "render node".  In Poser-speak, the term used is "host/local" for the controlling master machine and "remote" for all machines serving as slave units.  Only Poser Pro has Queue Manager.  If you have another machine or two available, you install only QMgr on those (not Poser) machines.
