Hey folks, |

3 |
I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with different values for |
4 |
MAKEOPTS="-jx" on Athlon 64 X2's. The guides usually suggest # of |
5 |
cores/processors plus one. Looking at "man make.conf" doesn't help much, |
6 |
it just says "Suggested settings are between CPUs+1 and 2*CPUs+1". The |
7 |
only thing "man make" mentions about the "-j" option is "If the -j |
8 |
option is given without an argument, make will not limit the number of |
9 |
jobs that can run simultaneously." I've also seen some mentions of -j9 |
10 |
by people with dual core systems elsewhere, indicating it drastically |
11 |
speed up some emerges. |
12 |
|
13 |
So this leaves me with several possibilities. There's -j3 (current |
14 |
setting), -j5, -j (no limit), -j9, or some other random number. Any |
15 |
suggestions/warnings/links would be appreciated. |
