But sooner or later we'll have to split combinat I think, as you mentioned, since with N threads you're just waiting faster (or rather "in parallel") for the last part to finish, similar to building Sage from scratch, where I meanwhile always have to wait for just SciPy (although during the build, the number of threads actually used a couple of times already drops down to just one or two). Interestingly, AFAICT in (HTML) docbuilding I/O isn't an issue (perhaps unless your disk is very very slow, or the box is in addition swapping). -leif > On Monday, September 5, 2016 at 10:59:19 PM UTC-7, Johan S.
