 * Having the cache on NFS may slow down compilation. Make sure to do some
   benchmarking to see if it's worth it.
 * ccache hasn't been tested very thoroughly on NFS.
-* If operating system versions is different then cache direct hit will be lesser,
-  and it will lead to slower cache preprocessor hits. sloppiness config can be set to 
-  system_headers to ignore different system header and increase cache direct hits.
-  It is recommended to have same operating system version when using cache on NFS

 A tip is to set <<config_temporary_dir,*temporary_dir*>> to a directory on the
 local host to avoid NFS traffic for temporary files.
 
+It is recommended to use the same operating system version when using a shared

+will likely be different and there will be few or no cache hits between the

 Using ccache with other compiler wrappers
