I have pretty unsurprising compile jobs that I run locally in a normal working day that could be run concurrently and make useful work of at least 256 GB. Instead I have to run them sequentially and they take forever. I have enough cores, not enough RAM.

Why not setup an autoscaling cluster in AWS for your build jobs? It is cheap as hell these days.

If the compile tasks depends on OSX, things get crazy. Even if you can avoid OSX for iOS (here be dragons, but it's possible)
