I use a 100 MBit/s connection. That's nearly 12 MiB/s. The SSD has a write-speed of maybe 4-8 MiB/s. Actual throughput (monitored with iftop) was usually lower that 40 Mbit/s. Maybe latency was a bit higher and NFSv4 could have helped with that but I think it was negligible compared to the compiling performance of the Atom processor. Sure, a build host would have been better but it also meant more work. I also thought about using ATAoE, iSCSI or something alike to mount the SSD from a more powerful computer (using a live-system to avoid obvious problems when mounting the FS twice). Again - too much fuss. I usually just do security updates and then a full update every six months or so.
