As far as I know, distcc master process pre-processes the code before sending it to the slaves. Having more (or bigger) files in the tree could be the cause of your master machine having to do more work before offloading the compilation to the slaves. Last, but not least, more code means more work when linking libraries and programs, and this step is also done by the distcc build master. There could me some other additional reasons why it is taking so much time now, but I would point to pre-processing and linking as possible causes for the distcc master now doing more work.
Especially when you do not have enough memory and the system start swapping.
Have you checked that? _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
