Hello list,

Not long ago I read that we should allow 2GB RAM for every emerge job - that 
is, we should divide our RAM size by 2 to get the maximum number of 
simultaneous jobs. I'm trying to get that right, but I'm not there yet.

I have these entries in make.conf:
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=16 --load-average=32 --autounmask=n --quiet-
unmerge-warn --ke>
MAKEOPTS="-j16"

Today, though, I saw load averages going up to 72. Can anyone suggest better 
values to suit my 24 threads and 64GB RAM?

Peter.
