I believe that gcc for instance starts to compile itself pretty quickly,
so I don't think distcc and crosscc will help. I do think distcc/crosscc
has helped zeus and poseidon continue to be productive.

We can manually set buildd priorities. We'd just need to figure out what
they should be. I've watched zsh-dev buildd three times while we still
have packages which haven't built since gcc-defaults got updated (Dec.
28).
