The problem is that finding out how long a file is going to take to
compile is just as hard as compiling said file - so there's no way for
XCode to tell if it will be faster to ship the file out or keep it
in-house. The only thing that it might be able to do is go "oh... I've
finished building all my stuff and I'm waiting on my partners, I might
as well see if I can beat them to the punch" and start compiling
something another box had been told to build.

Hi Dix,
I've noticed the same thing you are. If I'm compiling a lot of
files, the distributed build wins hands down, but if it is only one
or two files it is actually slower than not using the distributed
build. I'm using a powerbook G4 1.25 GHz and my distributed
partners vary from dual G5s to a 450 MHz Cube. Perhaps we should
file a "bug report" on this.

Hi,
is there any way I can tell XCode to prefer the local machine for
building? Or just set the order of preference which machine gets to
work? It doesn't matter if I am doing a complete build but when I
need to compile only 1 or 2 files I think it would be faster to use
the local machine than to push all the stuff around the network. In
my case it would be a lot faster since my local machine is a G5
while the remote machine is a lowly G4...
Thanks,
Dix
