reading slashdot is almost never worth the bandwidth or the time of your
life spent looking at it.

Due to a strange quirk in the way compilers are designed, it&#39;s (MUCH) faster to build a dozen files that include every file in your project than to build thousands of files.<br>
<br>
Once build times are down to 5 - 15 minutes you don&#39;t need distributed compiling. The link step is typically the most expensive anyway, so distributed compiling doesn&#39;t get you much.<br>
<br>
sorry for the noise.<br>
