"Because the MSVC preprocessor is not exactly fast, and because sccache
doesn’t have a direct mode like ccache, it doesn’t make as much
difference as ccache does."

I believe the precompiled headers are still the way to go on Windows -
the ccache on Windows will never be really fast, until MS speeds-up the
pre-processor, or somebody creates standalone MSVC-like
pre-processor ;-)

All the best,
