"over the internet" implies widely ramified machines in different admin domains, no shared FS, poor interconnect, etc. since compilation, on today's machines, is quite IO, rather than compute-bound, this is going to be a problem. it's no big deal to do parallel makes in a _cluster_, where you have some decent queueing system, shared filesystem, etc. in fact, I did an experiment where I simply said CC=sqrun cc in a makefile, with gnu "make -j 2" for instance, and it worked as expected.
