I feel the build system should be as fast as possible by default - no user action necessary. If you find that -j == # cores isn't providing the fastest builds possible, please present your data and we'll change the default value.
A gnumake flag that obsessive mozconfig tweakers may want to test is --load-average (-l).
You can specify a maximum load average to throttle the number of make -j jobs that are running simultaneously. You can specify a high -j to have many jobs available (e.g. 2 * # cores), but never run more than -l # cores.
