It's most useful on 100Mbit+ low-latency networks, and most apps will not parallelize beyond about -j4 anyhow, because there just isn't enough non-dependent stuff to build. Personally, distcc is very useful for cross-compilation from a fast x86 development box to slow sparc/arm boxes. Thanks, Donnie
