[distcc] Using a weaker machine or not

[Αναστασίου Γεώργιος]

So maybe there is a bottleneck between 1 core of athlon and one core of
brazos(which is 5 times slower)???

Right now the problem is that i cannot improve the compiling time with the
use of distcc,i am about the same of time with or without distcc.
