Only in that multi-processor machines let all the OS, spyware, etc etc
take up other processors while the compiler goes flat out on one.
Or, in other words, compilers tend not to be particularly multithreaded.
(They're frequently I/O bound.) The last one I noticed trying to do that
was the late lamented Symantec C++, which would allow you to use
multiple machines over the network to accelerate builds.
