Big advantage is that you can use multiple web servers (cluster, load balance, 
etc).  You need a shared session storage to do this.

Disadvantages: Might be slower, extra complexity.
Advantages: allows multiple web front-ends to work together, might be 
            faster.

You note that I say it might be slower and that it might be faster.  Depends
on various factors.
