I think you are referring to the following: |
| 21 |
MAKEOPTS="-j --load-average=5" |
| 22 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="-va -j --load-average=5" |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
These limit the load-average to 5. As long as the load is below this number, |
| 25 |
additional make/compile/emerge processes can be spawned. |
