For using XGE over VPN:
- Disable PCH files (this reduces network traffic to a level suitable for home cable internet connections (10-20Mbps upload).
- Disable remote linking
- Reduce the number of helper XGE agents as each maintains its own file cache. We found that <3 is the ideal number of agents to participate in a build, which means they need to be beefy. We found 128-224 cores is the ideal number for helper machines.
