As I understand it, build jobs still benefit from hyperthreading. Would -j4
not be more appropriate?
-j4
will be a little faster, with a greater loss of system responsiveness during compilation. I would be happy with -j4
, but considered the more conservative -j2
would be less disruptive in general.
-j2
, -j3
, -j4
, I don't mind - but a faster build sure would be nice to have.
You make a good case. -j2
does seem like a good compromise.
Thanks! In my experience -j4
is fine and does cut down the time it takes to compile significantly (this is how I compile the kernel for each release). Would you mind adjusting the PR?

Thanks!
Cut down build time - the hardware has two real CPU cores, make use of them.
