There are a few problems:
cyrix 233 supported by athlon 1.4 and a 2.2P4M
1. using a 10M coax network: definite bottleneck
2. a lot of work is still done on the low power machine which limits
gains
3. many of the apps I would really like to run this wont:
openoffice (comes and goes)
some of the larger kde packages
others
This mainly (but not always) appears to be due to combinations of distcc
and ccache looking for a prebuilt library in the wrong place.
Overall, there is a gain, but its not earth shatteringly faster and if
you are doing a large update that would normally build all the way to
the end, you will find yourself manually doing some packages.
