It does look like distributing the load helps a tiny bit, but it's not clear it's a big win over just building on the dual 650MHz machine. The fastest build I've seen so far is 19 minutes. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing things optimally yet.
So how long does it take *you* to do a clean build (just the 'make' part after 'make depend', say) of Wine-20021125?
On a athlon 900 with 512 MB RAM it takes about 30 minutes for a full build, but only for the first run. On the second run it takes about 3-4 minutes :). Ok, i'm using ccache and it realy paid out during my -DSTRICT work. The cache hit rate had varied between 30% and 80%, depending what i've done. You get 30% - 40% hitrate for normal updates from cvs without doing a "make clean".
No fair using ccache! That's the next tool I want to investigate; it's probably the biggest win of all, at least for regression testing.
I've thought about buying a new computer before i started to use ccache. With ccache i'll wait for the Hammer.
