Sadly, not the case. See, ./configure doesn't parallelise *at all*, and |
| 9 |
some packages either override make to not run in parallel (because the |
| 10 |
ebuild maintainer is too lazy to fix buggy upstream makefiles) or |
| 11 |
because the source files have lots of dependencies. So, it depends |
| 12 |
pretty much entirely upon the package as to how SMP affects it. |
