First of all: If you are using our binary packages then you dont need it.
I dont use our binpackages and compile everything ... but ... I do my updates in the night (when I sleep) and dont care if it takes one hour or one hour and 20 minutes 
Maybe read our wiki article - here you will find typically useful reasons to use it: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ccache
... and no, I dont use/need it.

That's about right. The average Gentoo user will not benefit from ccache. Further more, it introduces a new class of build-time failure scenarios that you are left debugging by yourself.
Not worth the trouble. |
