:-)

As someone who doesn't know a build from an ant script to a manifest, 
you appear to be correct: where you launch the build from is irrelevant. 
 I assume that building involves reading CVS (disk read) and checking 
it out somewhere (disk write) then compiling the code (disk read, cpu), 
then writing the compiled code (disk write) then testing (disk read) 
then putting files in a staging area (disk write).

If all those reads and writes happen in /shared (expect for reading 
CVS), then I'm a happy camper.
