Any chance of some performance figures.

I don't know but every time I hear about a new parallel computer system I 
can't resist the urge to ask "what'll she do mister"

What about compilation. Is there any stuff that in the BEOWULF package
that I can use to speed up compilation of a rather huge program.

Or would the time taken to pass data across the network not make 
distributed compiles worthwhile.
