I'm not sure, but I do think there are bottlenecks in the linker that haven't really been explored yet. Every now and then somebody finds and fixes one, e.g. http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2003-09/msg00112.html So a sufficiently motivated developer might be able to speed up linking for her app by improving binutils' ld (and then posting the patches on the binutils mailing list for review). - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
