From the README: "distcc is now reasonably stable and can successfully compile the Linux kernel, rsync, KDE, GNOME (via GARNOME), Samba and Ethereal. distcc is nearly linearly scalable for small numbers of machines: for a typical case, three machines are 2.6 times faster than one." On cygwin one I have recgonized a compiling speedup by 2.0 up to 2.4 with three machines depending on the network load.
