This is more a user list topic or personal wiki/ google research project, but there are at least four levels at which that is a likely invalid assumption on a well configured Gentoo Linux installation on modern hardware, particularly one where the user is not setting MAKEOPTS=1, thus indicating that he has and wants to use sufficient resources for parallel jobs in the first place.
