Purpose of "make -j16"? #41

Closed YungCorn closed 10 years ago

YungCorn commented 10 years ago

Is the only reason we use the -j16 argument to speed up the build process? Because "make -j16" uses a ton more memory than just "make."

Yes - It's optional:

$ make --help | grep "\-j"
  -j [N], --jobs[=N]          Allow N jobs at once; infinite jobs with no arg.
