Thanks for the detailed answers to both of you! :-)

Looking at the machine list, are they dual or single core CPU's?

Fileserver: Sun-Fire 890 with 4 double core 1500 MHz Ultra-Sparc IV
            processors, 16 GBytes RAM, Solaris 10

So I assume this is the fileserver shared for the whole site? Or do
you have a separate build infrastructure set up?

In the beginning of a build the parallelism is kinda restricted because
prerequisites need to be build. Later the parallelism is pretty good,
most of the time are all clients (nodes) are doing something. When
creating package set (a significant part of the total build time) the
parallelism is perfect.

I don't understand the last sentence. What is "creating package" and
by perfect do you really mean 100% (which sounds a bit too high)..
