Optimizing distcc

IceFox writes "Having fallen in love with distcc and its ability to speed up compiling (insert anyone who compiles like Gentoo users or Linux developers). I recently got the chance to dive deeper into distcc. By itself distcc will decrease your build times, but did you know that if you tweak a few things you can get a whole lot better compile times? Through a lot of trial and error, tips from others, profiling, testing and just playing around with distcc, I have put together a nice big article. It shows how developers can get a bigger bang for their buck out of their old computers and distcc with just a few changes."

    Just a general question here.
    has slashdot ever been /.ed?
    is that even possible?

    I think the other guy beat mine by a few seconds. My post should be modded down redundant accordingly. I'd rather only see one copy anyways.

    He thought he could survive a ./ with a php generated page? That reduces the throughput by what 10 times.
