Talk:Parallel compiler

Er, I think this article is fundamentally wrong. Parallel compilers aren't used to speed up the compilation process; they generate code that has parallel sections (or more parallel sections) than code would if it were built with a regular compiler. Workstation users with four or fewer processors, even only one processor, will run multiple compiler instances in parallel to get better build speeds, particularly if the build ends up being I/O bound.
