(Not trying to be cynical, it just came out that way)

So you mean instead of spending all of your money on a single server (the 
production server), you now spend it on two separate servers and thereby
partition the available CPU power to have one part always available for 
compiling even when the production server is really busy and nothing is 
being emerged?

Probably I just don't get it.
