Package: distcc
Version: 2.18.3-7.1
Severity: wishlist

At the moment, while using Zeroconf patch, distcc will calculate the
concurrency level for compilation (-j option) as sum(n_cpus * 4) for all
discovered hosts.
The number of slots per CPU is hardcoded into Zeroconf patch in the line
11881:

+ if ((ret = dcc_zeroconf_add_hosts(ret_list, ret_nhosts, 4, ret_prev) != 0))

I find this number a little bit to high, it would be nice to allow
configuration of this parameter.
