I have two i7-3520Ms. Each has hyperthreading so "counts" as 2. |

In particular /proc/cpuinfo describes 4 "cpus". |

Nilesh, Does that mean you recommend |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=4" |
| 14 |
MAKEOPTS="--jobs=8 --load-average=4" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In particular I am not sure if your recommendation for load-average |
| 17 |
applied to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS as well or if you were just discussing |
| 18 |
MAKEOPTS. |
