Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:34:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aec4aa39d1e3e0207302bb0ee2aa8823@quanstro.net> (raw)
this is just stupifying:

Due to a strange quirk in the way compilers are designed, it's (MUCH) faster to build a dozen files that include every file in your project than to build thousands of files.
Once build times are down to 5 - 15 minutes you don't need distributed compiling. The link step is typically the most expensive anyway, so distributed compiling doesn't get you much.
sorry for the noise.
