Compiling apps on the SGI Fuel with just one MIPS R14k 600 MHz CPU isn't fun 💤
It takes 14 minutes to compile the 'Second Reality' demo 🥱
Now with distcc and remote sgi-mips-irix6.5 cross compiler on two remote x86_64 VMs with just 4 cores assigned to each, it takes only 40 seconds!! ⚡

@flexion@oldbytes.space But how long did it take to set up distcc and build the cross compiler 😁

@flexion@oldbytes.space the thing that made it tolerable back in the day was make -j on a 32 processor r10k challenge 😂
