I can't say it enough...
distcc rocks!
I've been using it to build Fink stuff on Panther, and it's making short work of things, thanks to generous donations of spare CPU time by a couple of friends.
Not only that, but I finally packaged the new release of it. (The fink package was a couple of versions behind for a while) One of the niftiest new features is a GUI compile monitor. Check it out:
Hooray for distributed compiling!
