One other item I missed in the replies: |

"--load-average" is also a valid option for make. |

If you want to keep the load down, I would suggest adding this to MAKEOPTS as |
| 20 |

| 21 |
|
| 22 |
MAKEOPTS="--jobs=16 --load-average=32" |
| 23 |
|

I write the options out full because I had some weird errors in the past |

because the "-j" wasn't handled correctly at some point. |
