The option does not seem to behave reasonably in current implementations and IMO shouldn't be included because of that. This description is misleading because the current behavior is to maximize the number of processes without regard to runtime or anything else which can lead to hundreds of processes that slow down the entire OS. A user who is simply looking for a "parallelize this" flag can use `-P$(getconf NPROCESSORS_ONLN)`.
