RAC design question

I'm new to RAC, but have a question. We have a 5 node RAC that supports multiple markets each of which has its own schema. Due to each market having its own schema, there is no sharing of blocks between markets. As such, I am thinking that it would make sense to have each market work on only one node because that would avoid having blocks passed between nodes, and thus should be good for performance. (Note: the intent behind RAC was for high availability, not for scaling, each node can handle the workload of multiple markets).

Thoughts?
