The main problem is that distcc is not (last time I looked) smart enough to understand some machines are faster than others. So if the problem is embarrassingly parallel, you're fine, but if there is a bottleneck the critical tasks might be stuck on slower machines.
As an unscientific rule of thumb I would not use machines that are more than say 2-3x (per core) slower than the average. -- Martin __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
