8-core CPU: EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build --keep-going --jobs 9 --load-average 9"
MAKEOPTS="-j9 -l9" Works fine except when both Firefox and Thunderbird need update, in that case emerge typically tries to build them in parallel and one gets OOM killed due to insufficient swap space (1G swap, 16G RAM). I will increase the swap but I'd like to know: Is there a way to tell emerge to normally run 9 parallel jobs but limit to 1 when it is building one of the two monsters? Thanks, raffaele
