Hello Dale, |

Not sure this is what you are looking for, but it's pretty easy to set up. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
in my /etc/make.conf file I have this:: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
MAKEOPTS="-j7 -l8" |
| 19 |
|

|
| 21 |
so it does what you are looking for on larger upgrades. Some files that |
| 22 |
do not compile properly, auto limit to one core. My understanding is |
| 23 |
there are a variety of mechanism to achieve this. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The kernel version/setting surely has more options, but they are |
| 26 |
optimized according to the types of workloads and the scheduler you have |
| 27 |
selected. YOU or anyone can waist weeks and months going down that pathway. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Then there are mechanisms to further refine how your system works. |

It's a wide open area so read up a bit and find your comfort level. |
