locally i think ive never seen an issue and i use it 100% of teh time
for all builds.

in fate clients, i have seen cases where ccache needed to be cleared
I dont want to guess the cause as its just a guess, but clients
run out of disk space, they run out of memory which doesnt happen
to me locally nearly that often

Being able to tell the developer code is ok/not ok quicker can be valuable
but sure, if you prefer having it disabled for now

its for ccache. Because without that you have random temporary files
and so they are not cached.

my configure here takes 6sec (with --tempprefix and ccache and lots of --enables)
without tempprefix its 10sec

thx
