I'd done this experiment sometime ago, and I had sent a mail here as |
| 34 |
well regarding which load average does make account for. |
| 35 |
A couple of packages started failing compile and it turns out that |
| 36 |
they don't work well with the infinite jobs that make --jobs spawns. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
It's better to limit the number of jobs to 2*CPUs (or cores) with a |
| 39 |
load control like --load-average=N where N is number of CPUs. |
