The more I edit, the more the phrase "with parallelism=4" grates.
First, I don't really think it is good English or good American. In the days when everything was CMMI it could correctly be parsed as "when using make -j4" (assuming people weren't silly enough to do that on a machine with <4 cores). But nowadays, ninja on a 4-core CPU will default to 6 jobs, although most packages can be forced to used a specified number with the ninja patch from LFS (qtwebengine is an exception, there I take cores offline on my laptop). But the bigger problem is packages using rust - if you have 4 or more cores online they schedule N+2 jobs. Actually, that in itself is enough to deter me from getting a bigger machine with multiple drives and trying to build systems in parallel, but not the problem here. I would prefer to change text like this to either "on a 4-core machine" (anything using ninja or rust, including librsvg and qtwebengine) or "using make -j4 on a machine with at least 4 cores" (anything using make where ninja and rust are not involved). And the second of those alternatives is longer than I'd like, but I'm sure someone is going to complain that when they used make -j4 on an old 2-core machine the SBU was somewhat larger. Alternatively, perhaps this is just the early onset of cabin fever, and I'm not even in lockdown at the moment ;-) ĸen -- When alle is ſayed and all is done, ye must chooſe your faces wisely, for soon enouff ye will be playing with fyre."
