I'm not sure if this is the right list for this, if it's not please point me in the right direction. Recently I started using two new programs that have an incredible impact on my compile times on multiple machines. The first ccache (http://ccache.samba.org) allows you to cache object files created when compiling, and reuses the ones that would be exactly the same. The next one is distcc (http://distcc.samba.org). This allows you to farm out compiling to different machines on your list. The benefits of these two packages are phenominal, but I'm wondering if there's any danger in running these? In the distcc comparisons (http://distcc.samba.org/compared.html), they say that more security features will be added.
Any thoughts? Tim
