I've got a mini mac doing almost nothing. I could set it up to run 
regression.py in an endless loop. But only if it basically administers 
itself.

Would that help? The only compiler on it right now is Apple's gcc 3.3.

Would it be OK to run --incremental? That would cut the turnaround time a 
lot.
