Quoting David Fang <fang@csl.cornell.edu>:
Apart from parallelism, I wished the stage 2,3 compilations had a hook
for ccache-ing
Even better would be distcc, i.e. distribute the new compilers
around a cluster so you don't need to have all your cores and DIMMS
on the same motherboard to harness hugely massive parallelization.
