I've never had an opportunity to run make on an OS where
anything but -j1 behavior would occur. So my viewpoint,
colored by that background, is that if I have one process
that runs for six hours vs. six that run for one hour
each, well, it's six of one or half a dozen of the other.
Obviously there's a good reason for this that I just
don't understand yet--what am I missing?
