Why? It wouldn't make sense to build with more processes than there are
CPUs.
> We could also change "pool" to just "Pool(cpu_count())" or "Pool(int(1.5
* cpu_count()))" or something like that, eliminating the minimum of 8 and
possibly increasing the maximum.
Why? It wouldn't make sense to build with more processes than there are
CPUs.
As I mentioned on sage-devel, I don't like that there is an option to
doctest in parallel, a different option to build the docs in parallel, a
different option to build in parallel... I would say: let there be one
environment variable `SAGE_NUM_PROCESSES` or something like that and use
that for everything.
