The problem is that finding out how long a file is going to take to

I have no problem with that. But *I* know it and I would like some way
to tell XCode "Give the first 2 files to compile to my local machine,
the next 2 to this machine" and so on. And as a default I would prefer
my local machine to have first shot because networktraffic always adds
time so unless the remote machine is a lot faster a local compile
should be faster...
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.
I've thought about that quite often too, but unless your local machine
is a lot faster you won't win a lot. The remote already has all the
precompilation done already anyway and has been working on it already.
And that time is probably more than what the network adds when you get
the results, so there isn't much to gain...
