Hmm. Installed, and seems to work. OTOH, compilation now seems to produce 2-3MB/sec writing on spinning rust, and CPUs are no longer fully loaded. (make -j 7 on 2 core HT machine). Any io load sends the CPU utilization to cca 50% range... Compilation goes up from 9:13 to 11:40... to 23 minutes depending on situation. I guess it is still worth it for the bisect, but it looks like ccache really needs an ssd. On the other hand, switching to -O1 is really easy, and gets 15% or so improvement. Hmm. And killing chromium matters a lot for a compile time. I hate modern web :-(.
