It's also worth pointing out that emerge's --load-average is only evaluated when it's looking to start building a new package/job, as opposed to MAKEOPTS' (ie. make's) --load which is evaluated every time make wants to spawn a new thread. If your load average drops below the threshold, emerge will start a new job with potentially -jN make threads (though this is mitigated somewhat if also using --load in MAKEOPTS). -- Sam Jorna (wraeth)
