So to emphasize, if you compile a lot and only have one or two machines on your
100mps or 1gbps LAN you'll still see big benefits.
I don't understand how this benefits anyone with just one machine
(that's compatible...) - there's no other machines to delegate compile
tasks to (or to fetch prebuilt blobs from). Can you clarify? Do you just
mean "one extra machine"? Am I misunderstanding how this works?

What about people not lucky enough to (regularly) work in an office,

If you saw the platform lightning talk by Jeff and Ehsan in London, you
will know that in the Toronto office, we have set up a distributed
compiler
called `icecc`, which allows us to perform a clobber build of
mozilla-central in around 3:45. After some work, we have managed to get it
so that macOS computers can also dispatch cross-compiled jobs to the
network, have streamlined the macOS install process, and have refined the
documentation some more.
If you are in the Toronto office, and running a macOS or Linux machine,
getting started using icecream is as easy as following the instructions on
the wiki:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Using_Icecream
If you are in another office, then I suggest that your office starts an
icecream cluster! Simply choose one linux desktop in the office, run the
scheduler on it, and put its IP in the Wiki, then everyone can connect to
the network and get fast builds!
If you have questions, myself, BenWa, and jeff are probably the ones to
talk to.
