I think trying to come up with a formula for calculating the optimal
value based on the amount of RAM, type of CPU, speed of CPU, version
of BSD, number, speeds, layout(s), previsous contents of *... etc is
really much harder than to measure it.  Other than that, I think the
`make -j4' suggested for a single CPU in the handbook is a fairly good
approximation.
