I noticed the same speed-up when building. You know, it is these sort 
of tips which might be useful to make more well known. I had no idea 
this StatCacheServer existed until I saw it in the archive Alex sent me 
for Jam.

I feel like as I get deeper in development for Haiku I keep hitting 
brick walls that inevitably other people have hit. But to solve the 
problem I have to email this list or spend an hour doing research when 
it could have been in an obvious "Developer's FAQ" on the web-site. 
This does not exist as far as I know, but it could be very useful, 
especially as the project matures and we (hopefully) get more 
developers.

Since I'm more a man of action rather than someone who whines I'll look 
into creating this FAQ, with whatever help I need from the other more 
experienced developers.

Ryan
