Just to continue a little farther - I'm sure there are many legitimate special circumstances. You, for instance, may have a dedicated server on which you've determined the magic number to be 6. You may know that you own all the cycles on this machine and that your application or build can only run there. So there's nothing wrong with wanting to hard wire defaults in such circumstances, but these would be exceptional cases and unlikely to be directly supported by GNU make. BTW, I believe you could export MAKEFLAGS="-j 6" (put it in .profile or whatever) and get the effect you want. It's interesting that GNU make doesn't support a .makerc file in the traditional way. I'm sure there's a long history of discussion and debate on that topic but I'm not familiar with it.
