Naturally, compiling on the machine that drives compilation has low overhead.
But, if a large number of machines are part of the distcc "farm", I suspect most of the driving machine's time would be better spent doing preprocessing & feeding only, and as such increase the chances of always having something ready to handle to machines that finish their distcc compilation jobs. I'm just hoping to collect some opinions on this matter. For a large project a for a cluster of about 8 machines, is it actually better to dedicated the driving machine to do preprocessing only? (and so not include it in the hosts file). __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
