Made my day...
It's nice when you come in and see this mail:
Wanted to thank you for taking the time to write distcc. It is a model of elegant simplicity from a user's perspective.
I've been making infrastructure changes in our software which have roughly the same effect as "make clean" so my build times were consistently outrageous. I was able to reduce the build time by 76% without spending a penny on hardware. 'course management loves that kind of thing ...
The funny thing is nobody else seemed to mind how slow builds were until they saw how bad they were in comparison (I'm a recent hire). Now, when developers have to compile older versions of our code base that don't contain my parallel-safe makefile changes, they moan and groan about how long it takes. These are the same ones that didn't see a problem before I started. You gotta love human nature ...
