Sam, You are building a better mousetrap here. That's not a reason to try. Do users of I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING, who have already opted to shoot themselves in both feet, get a free pass here? There are users who run emerge --jobs=X with MAKEOPTS='-jY" and get firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice all building concurrently as they allow X * Y MAKE threads, reduced by this proposed throttling, still triggering the OOM. I don't think you can head that off beforehand. -- Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of elections gentoo-ops forum-mods arm64
