Does Sage work with parallel installation of packages?
Absolutely. Do:
$ export SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD=yes
$ export MAKE='make -j8'
$ make
See the installation guide for information about the relevant environment
variables. I think that we should set SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD to "yes"
automatically -- it works very well, according to everyone I've talked to
about it.
I agree with that too. I still think it would be wise to be able to disable it,
as one might want to build individual packages in paralell, but not have the
resources to build loads of different packages in parallel. It would certainly
be an issue on my laptop!
But I think it would be better to have this as the default, as for the vast
majority of cases it is beneficial.
