OK. Did that. Here are my results for time emerge xlockmore! Question follows! :-) I have a dual Xeon 2.40GH IBM server (Fast!) and a 500 MHz Celeron IBM X20 laptop (Not Fast!). VOLUNTEERS: me@<Xeon>:/home/me/opt/bin/distccd localhost # turns into -j1 because of "no jobserver" error :-( -j 4 real 7m7.246s user 3m22.650s sys 1m19.670s VOLUNTEERS: me@<Xeon>:/home/me/opt/bin/distccd localhost # with -j real 8m21.787s user 6m3.500s sys 1m38.690s # let's get rid of the dog... VOLUNTEER: me@<Xeon>:/home/me/opt/bin/distccd # with -j real 5m53.935s user 3m54.610s sys 1m33.180s VOLUNTEER: me@<Xeon>:/home/me/opt/bin/distccd # with -j 3 .. turned into -j1 real 6m37.346s user 3m22.330s sys 1m18.050s So... I'm thinking distcc may not for me, because right now I only have one machine worth compiling on! :-) Might I do better to somehow emerge on my server with the X20 as a target? How would I do that? (RH 7.3 server) Would I have to create a User Mode Linux for Gentoo and do it from in there? Actually, though, I will soon have a nice P4 desktop up and running again. That might help, but still it sounds faster to just do all compiling on the server. I know I am amazed evrytime I compile something for /usr/local on it. Opinions? Thanks for any info!
