try make -j 300 .......and then watch top.. as I said before try messing with
the BIOS read/write settings, if you are using MTRR you may be able to get a
bit of speed out of that by using serings like x111/x222 if your mem can take
it, also look for CPU settings of I/O, my BIOS has a setting for how many
clock cycles the CPU should wait after completing an I/O request (recovery
time)
