ccache :-)

If you compile C or C++ code regularly, then you absolutely will love ccache... or maybe you're already using it!

Thanks to shaver for great tip :-)

Have you tested it with mozilla ?

I've used ccache for compiling Mozilla for about three months now. I haven't noticed any problems so far.

distcc is another program you could use to speed up compilations if you have several computers with Linux. But I have no experience with that.

Yup, works like a charm with Mozilla. Finally, I don't have to compile Gecko twice in order to maintain Firefox and Thunderbird builds. Plus, I've been using the hardlink option to save disk space :)
