  I deployed it - specifically, the Cygwin distro version - at my last job to
speed up our builds.  (The benefits are particularly noticeable for C++; you
need a much larger source file for plain C to really notice the difference
than you do in C++, because compilation of plain C is so much faster that it
becomes comparable to the overheads of preprocessing the file in a separate
step and fetching the related object from the cache.)
