Did you set the parallel builds to a number > 1 ?
It's a while ago since I used it the last time, but that's all as far as 
I remember.
The parallel build is disabled for some packages, so you'll have to 
watch it for a while.

The use of distcc is not well tested, so you could experience some more 
problems, or it just could work.

Would be cool if you could give some feedback how it works.
