Different spec. swarm and octeons have different advantages (octeons have many but a slower processors, and less memory per used processor than swarms (because we run two buildds in parallel per hardware, each using up to 6 cpus)). Anyways, if the most concering issue is that there is currently only one swarm-type mips buildd, we could just use the spare machine we have and add another one. (Normally packages can build on any hardware, but sometimes it's more favourable to distribute packages accordingly between different hardware types - nothing too bad, but sometimes e.g. RAM is more important than many processors).
