Three companies I worked at have routinely used -j 2*number of CPUs, even on shared machines (some of which had 15 CPUs). If the -l (max load average) option works as advertised, perhaps -j without arguments should imply -l number-of-cpus? That seems like it would maximize an individual's throughput while also adaptively dividing up a shared build machine. I have never tried -l, though. -- Tom Kronmiller _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
