I've had good luck using distcc to speed up my p3 450's builds.. until
it fried that is...
However, you might be better off doing a hybrid of the two, especially
when it comes to compiling big packages, since there are some that
explicitly disable using distcc.
You might want to build the packages exclusively on your more powerful
computer for that one. Whichever you choose there is plenty of
documentation for either.
