If you start make with several threads, wouldn't it be faster do do this on
such a cluster - or would the network-overhead for the
file-sharing make the whole thing useless? Me and some friends also consider
to build a mosix-cluster (we're all in a student's hostel) -
althoug they won't let me in, cause the are scared that i'll "missuse" it
for KDE-compiling;-)
