We used it at a previous job. Every dev computer in the building ran distcc, compiles were distributed and finished super fast.

Also had much success with it in the past. In my previous job we wanted to use it when building Xcode projects with a large C++ library. However, it's not compatible with Apple's modified Clang. I spent some time maintaining a fork where I hacked in support for passing along the Apple specific switches but eventually gave up. Seems like a cool feature would be the ability to define non-standard switches in a config rather than have them hard coded.

edit: just remembered I wrote up a blog post about it when I worked there
