Follow-up Comment #3, bug #28134 (project make): As a complete digression, and based on 26 years of doing parallel builds (damn it's been a long time), I just wanted to point out that you can generally use 50% more jobs than your number of CPUs/cores. E.g., for a dual-core machine, use make -j3. Compilation tends to be heavily I/O bound; if you only use as many jobs as you have cores, you will tend to always have at least 30% idle CPU. Bump up the jobs by 50% and you can utilize that extra CPU without overloading the machine. Go beyond that and you tend to lose.
