parallel-fetch ccache

I was looking at the x86 Quick Install on Gentoos website and they had parallel-fetch ccache in their make.conf. I was wondering what it does and is it good to have?

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo.

Since there seems to be no install question, I believe this post belongs in OTG.

parallel-fetch allows you to fetch a package while compiling another.

ccache is compiler cache which caches the output of C/C++ compilation so that the next time, the same compilation can be omitted.

They are different things

Just add:
FEATURES="parallel-fetch" to make.conf

for ccache just do a search on this forum.
