Hi Peter,

I am putting the MAKE_J=4 before ./configure rather than after.
I don't believe that it makes a difference, but who knows:

 MAKE_J=4 ./configure --with-libapl --with-android

The other thing is that th CPU load is on the compiler, not on make.
I don't know what the Activity Monitor is, but top on my machine shows this:

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND   
 9562 eedjsa    20   0   93544  77680   9012 R  48.6  1.0   0:01.46 cc1plus   
 9661 eedjsa    20   0   55788  37532   5324 R   8.3  0.5   0:00.25 cc1plus

 9667 eedjsa    20   0   43004  25368   4844 R   3.7  0.3   0:00.11 cc1plus   
 1720 root      20   0  104808  27288  19352 S   0.7  0.3   0:06.85 Xorg      
...


Which means that 4 compilers are running.

I did a checkout of svn 884 and then configure with this 
./configure MAKE_J=4 --with-libapl —with-android —
in order to see if it would use 4 cores….

Then did make and using Activity monitor I saw 4 instances of make.
But only one was using CPU cycles.

Am I misunderstanding something?

respect….

Peter
P.S. there were no errors BTW
