	Hi all,

I have try distcc on Cygwin on 3 computers with exctly the same
configuration:
Pentium 3, 1 Ghz, 10Mb ethernet

I have test a lot of configuration:

localhost computer2 computer3
computer2 computer3 localhost
...

with -j = 2 * CPUs

And it appears that the best configuration is to not set localhost in the
configuration file. But the gain is maximum about 20%... only...

The problem is that the preprocessing of each of my file take a lot of time
(more than the compilation itself). The CPU of my computer is at 100% just
by preprocessing 4 files for the 2 others computers !!!

Is it normal ???

Is there a magic way to reduce the preprocessing time ?

Thanks,
Sebastien.
