There are significant parts of the build that are rather serial; Amdahl's law is alive and well in our builds.
Careful there... Since the guy that threw a wrench into Amdahl's law in 1988 does research at Sun. :) Though I did turn up something in a search just now that says the two are mathematically equivalent.
Though, if I understand Gustafson's law correctly, you'll need to be building more kernels to be able to use that style parallelism. It's more appropriate for HPC algorithms, not building kernels. :)
