I think I last used distcc back in the mid 2000s, when I was mucking around with Gentoo a bit more frequently, on a single core machine.

I had two machines, one running Gentoo, one running Windows, and I would use distcc to enable me to use the Windows machine to help boost the compilation speed of Gentoo. I can't remember where the documentation was, but http://wikigentoo.ksiezyc.pl/HOWTO_Distcc_server_on_Windows.... seems to do a good job of capturing the general concept.
