Using -j is recommended only when you have lots of memory and can keep

Time it for yourself and see...
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I'd seen it cited as a way to deal
with the delay caused by file access, but I guess it does make sense
that it would apply to the actual filesystem rather than swap.
