distcc sends files to the host that has the least jobs *from this client* currently. distcc's internal load balancing is blind to the load that comes from other clients. The 'randomize host list' patches help that quite a bit, but a load balancing server like the one being discussed helps more. It would be nice to have some good benchmarks showing how much more. Maybe I'll have Dongmin add a multiple client mode to the benchmark script she's been writing (it's just a wrapper around distcc's existing bench.py). - Dan __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
