I assume you have 2 cores on your cpu and you're adding 1 as per the |
| 7 |
ancient rule. That may not be the best option anyways. See |

The author of the blog post ran multiple tests, and concluded that |
| 10 |
setting MAKEOPTS -j to the actual number of cores is slightly faster. |

Years ago, the gcc compiler was less efficient, and adding 1 to -j did |
| 12 |
improve compilation speed. That is apparently not the case today. |
