Seems this is the same as what we were using in '92-94 to compile the Sather compiler. It would distribute the compiles to idle workstations on the network and gather up the object files for linking. All completely transparent to the user - except for the significant speedup.
What kills it is screensavers that generate fractals and the like. The machine is never so busy as when it is idle!
