also a build making more calls to make can result in
jfactor * number of make calls jobs
Only if you're using a totally braindead implementation of make. The
whole point of the jobserver pipe is to eliminate this fanout problem.
So I might regularily use maybe -j 10 (when I know 10 more calls to
make are made)
On some machines this might be unacceptable and bring them to their
knees.
On other machines it can work really well.
