If it were a frequent occurrence, there may be some benefit in that. But |
| 11 |
using only one of the CPUs 8 cores is such a waste when this sort of |
| 12 |
thing happens only every few weeks. Usually trying again works, rarely |
| 13 |
does using -j1 make a difference and when it does a bug report ensures |
| 14 |
that it won't be an issue in future. |
