17:46:03 # Life Using Multicore CPUs with pbuilder. I did have distcc and ccache set up on my system, but I didn't have multiple build setup on my system. Strange. dpkg-buildpakage takes '-jX' option for parallel builds, and pbuilder supports --debbuildopts for passing down build options. I usually pass on '--debbuildopts "-I -i "', so I can just change that to --debbuildopts "-I -i -j5 " to make it build in 5 parallel mode.
