+If you are compiling on a slow machine and you have access to other machines I would recommend using distcc (which can be installed by your [Package] manager).
+
+When I make the [Kernel] with three (slow) machines I do the following: %%%
+=make -j6 CC='distcc'= %%%
+The -j6 is to tell make to use 6 parallel tasks (recommended is 2 per CPU).
+NB - this stopped part way through and when I did a normal make it started all over from the beginning so don't trust this syntax quite yet - worked on other programs for me though -- IanMcDonald
