[ale] Performance

[Liberie F. Cunha-Neto]

if you have more pcs in your network you can use DISTCC
http://distcc.samba.org

distcc is a program to distribute builds of C, C++, Objective C or Objective C++ code across several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the same results as a local build, is simple to install and use, and is often two or more times faster than a local compile.
