Just for information: 1) Once set up, the distcc server does not need root/sudo access on the box.
2) The CPU usage of the distcc server is modest: the distcc client preprocess the source code before sending it to the server. Given the speed ratio involved, preprocessing the source on the client take more time than compiling the result on the server, so the server is idle most of the time. And of course compilation is a fraction of package building time (at least when using distcc).
