it says memory usage for compiles never went above 60MB, so if kde was 
compiled as part of the tests then --enable-final definitely wasn't used.
I turned off distcc for kde due to it using --enable-final, it is noted as a 
problem in the distcc FAQ [0]and I found it increased compile times here, and 
it even caused prometheus to timeout (30 min timeouts) during any kde compile 
on my pII 300 cluster.
If you want distcc then add a configure option to every spell that uses 
- --enable-final so those of us with experience of the problem can still 
either 
turn of distcc or --enable-final or both.
