My testing showed that distcc doesn't seem to scale beyond about 8-10
hosts.  (Hosts, not CPUs.)  Since the originator has to do all the cpp
processing and all the linking, the other hosts start standing around
idle when the originator reaches 100% CPU.

Am I wrong?  Am I doing something wrong?  I can get more CPUs... (-:
