Heh, at least I'd save on my heating bill in winter. Where I live I pay about 30c/kWh. I wrote about that the other day - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1

Heh, at least I'd save on my heating bill in winter. Where I live I pay about 30c/kWh. I wrote about that the other day - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11378704 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11378704 I'm not sure I share your enthusiasm for fast single threaded compile times. Some basic testing on AWS showed benefits jumping from c4.xlarge all the way to 4xlarge (but not 8xlarge) and using appropriate -j parameters. I'm not sure you're IO bound at that point either because compiling into a RAM disk didn't seem to make much difference.
