SPAM: [Paraview] Can the process of buiding paraview be shortened?

[Rick Wagner]

I don't know about compiling on separate machines, but I've had some  
luck on a single machine using GNU make. If your machine is multi- 
processor, multi-core, hyper-threaded, or whatever, I recommend  
trying "make -j n", where n is some number of simultaneous build tasks.

This works, since ccmake creates Makefiles, and doesn't actually  
handle the build process. It's even noted on the Wiki at:
