It should be possible to complete Engine builds quicker than today by distributing it over multiple machines. Server, Client, Game, Editor code builds - they don't need to happen on the same box. Longtail should offer a high-performance storage backend that would allow sharing the artifacts between processing steps.
The big question is really: can we accomplish this split neatly within the BuildGraph?
