[gentoo-user] Core 2 duo: Building threaded program versions

[Nico Schümann]

Hi folks,

I recently set up a Core 2 duo system. Following the AMD64 howto, the
system now works. Kernel compilation took 1:40 minutes passing -j6 to
make.

Then I tried to bunzip a large file and found out that the machine was
about 40 % in idle which is clear because bzip2 is only one process.
So is there any way to build those utilities like bzip2 or gzip in a
thread-using way? It's not that nice to see the machine in idle at
all^^ Maybe there's any hidden use flag I haven't heard of or so :)

Greets,

Nico
