It seems to me that you shouldn't need expensive optimization for 
continuous integration. In theory that could make a big difference though 
I admit to no experience of build farms.

Have you looked at ccache? It will save you from having to recompile any 
files not changed.

You could also leverage all of your laptops together using distcc.

HTH.
