I just made a script to pre-build all git revisions in a git-bisect, so the actual bisection testing that requires human attention can be done without being interrupted by a build each time.
I'd like to avoid making user system go unresponsive. Builds require really different memory etc. so it's hard to guess what's reasonable here. I'm considering this: parallel --nice=17 --load=80% I'd also like to address memory use, but I'm not sure how best to do it. Does --memsuspent accept at percent or not? It seems like something like "don't start any more jobs and suspend some at 80% memory used" might be a reasonable guess but I don't know how to specify it. I'm reluctant to use fixed quantities of memory. I'd like to avoid --memfree because killing jobs might produce confusion about build results, and restarting them automatically might not work. Any advice appreciated. Britton
