Optimising Octave compilation time

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

So you really compile all of the Octave sources in 2 minutes,
Campbell? Wow. Maybe that's why I'm the only one who complains about
having to regularly recompile Octave when someone decides that we need
to have two spaces instead of one after every full stop. I've kinda
solved this problem with ccache, which does tend to cut down my
compilation times.

I don't know. I've never tried with Octave, but I have seen it
elsewhere. I don't often spawn multiple threads with Probably an
improperly autotooled project. Then again, I don't often try to spawn
multiple compilation threads on this laptop. I'm afraid of overheating
it.
