We used to use this in a previous company. It reduced the build time from ~20 minutes to ~2 minutes; until a bug in the ld linker at the time (linking is not distributed - only compilation is) pushed it back up to 20 minutes. We had a hell of a time finding the issue, but luckily there was a newer versions of binutils available where it was fixed; and upgrading to it got the build time back under 2 minutes.

Fun times!
