Except on a multiprocessor system.  Assuming decent comms bandwidth between
processors, it should make sense to split the compiler up fairly finely and
pipeline the work.

I know that more modern 'make' variants help somewhat, but I'd like to give
those sixteen processors in our Sequent real work to do even when I'm only
compiling one or two files.

So, has anyone done this, and measured the results?  We want information!
