It sounds terrible to me. I once accidentally launched a distributed
build with my laptop being only on wireless, the build speed was
atrocious. I don't remember if that was 802.11b or 802.11g, but
chances are your internet connection is much slower than that anyway.
Oh, and it just occurred to me that distributed builds only work
with the same kind of processor, so you'd need to distribute to
PowerPC Macs. You can't distribute from a PowerPC to an Intel or
vice versa IIRC.
Not even that, but all computers must also have the exact same
version of Mac OS X and Xcode.
