I second Jeff's point about building with icecream[1]. If you work in
an office with a build farm, or near a fast desktop machine you can

What do you mean by build farm?
Do some offices have dedicated build machines?
Or is this "just" a lot of desktop machines wired up to work together?
Several offices are using icecream with whatever desktop machines happen
to be available to improve build times. The London office was told last
year that there's a plan to buy dedicated build machines to add to the
cluster, but I am unaware if there is any progress or whether the idea
was dropped.
What we did in the Toronto office was walked to people who ran Linux on
their desktop machines and installed the icecream server on their
computer. I suggest you do the same in London. There is no need to
wait for dedicated build machines. ;-)
Yes, we have done that. The dedicated hardware would be in addition to
the existing linux desktop users.
