No, it's not used by default.  However, there can be some jobs that
can't be distributed and distcc will run those locally, because the only
other alternative would be to not compile them at all.

In this situation you might try running with about -j8 so that there is
plenty of room to run things remotely.  But for C++ that might  causes
your slow machine to run out of memory, so you might not be able to go
that high.
