  Hi all,

Tests have shown that using distcc under cygwin is not as powerful as under
linux mainly because of the use of "fork".

In the man page of distccd, it is shown the following option:

--no-fork 
Don't fork children for each connection, to allow attaching gdb. Don't use
this if you don't understand it!

My question is: is it possible to use this option in a normal use too ? And
maybe there will be some gain ?

What do you think ?

Thanks,
Sebastien.
