Not to mention, having an SBU when using multiple CPU's or cores when the
rest of the book has SBU's based with one CPU or one core, and when the
LFS book SBU is measured with one core/cpu. May as well put in every book
an SBU based on multiple jobs when the system has so many CPU's or cores.
I suggest leaving the SBU as if someone is using one CPU or one core.

Here's one major issue with the SBU and then stating the SBU when using 4
CPU's or cores,

When the first SBU is measured it is using one CPU or one core. When using
multiple jobs, the SBU is not going to be accurate, especially when
someone moves the build to a different machine.

I would suggest to leave the SBU with one CPU or core. Adding a note with
machine specifics could be used for SBU's when using multiple CPU's or
cores.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
