Comment(by orenbenkiki):
Is this a dead ticket? Because I'd love to see it implemented. I'm working
on a 32-core machine and compiling large Haskell packages (dozens of
modules). A -j flag would make a real difference for me. Granted this
isn't the most common case, but I'd expect a significant improvement even
for smaller packages on a dual-core machine (and these days, which machine
isn't at least that?). Faster builds => happier developers, and all that
:-)
