Wrong, make -j spawn as many threads as your computer could handle,
and if you are compiling something with C++ you will get out of virtual
memory soon (unless you use hundereds of megs for swap :))

But I think the best way to stress cpu is to run two burnP6 programs
see http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/  for doc and source.
