I use my 4-core laptop for building as well... mainly because I found it inconvenient to maintain development environment on multiple machines. I've almost stopped writing patches in my personal MBP due to that. That said, if I can distribute the build to other machines, I'll happily buy a new desktop machine and use it as a compiler farm to boost the build. - Xidorn _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
