The problem is that when I do a compile, it never makes use of more
than six CPUs. In otherwords, there are never more than six things
being compiled at once. Since everyone sees this effect, and at
all times, I'm wondering if it is some built-in rate limit in
either distcc, Xcode's version of distcc, or Xcode itself. Anyone
have a clue?
It's the default max limit, as imposed by Xcode. It was determined
that using more than that would give worse results - based on how
taxing it is for the local machine to feed the remote machines data.
That said, in my own tests I can see improvements to build times well
beyond this point - but it all comes down to the combination of
network equipment + build machines that you have available.
I looked through this list's archives, and the Xcode help and
didn't see anything about limits or caps on distributed builds.
In the documentation you can find the user defaults key
"XCMaxNumberOfDistributedTasks" that can be used to raise this limit.
