    i'm not sure it improves the build process by itself (i don't know if the compiler is multi-threaded at all, or enough to matter), but i can easily build and surf at the same time with no lag! -c

              Sometimes you catch interesting bugs in multithreaded code ... I have seen that multithreaded bugs tend to showup faster on multi-processor machines. :) Thomas
