From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
on a quad Xeon it's much better to change the top level Makefile's MAKE
entry:
MAKE =make -j3
and then do 'make -j4 bzImage'. This gives the best parallelism, about
390%. (the final link is always serialized so it's never gonna be 400%.)
Some of us even have shell scripts for this :-)
#!/bin/sh
make -j4 MAKE="make -j4" vmlinux
Later,
