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 EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=4" MAKEOPTS="--jobs=8 --load-average=4" In particular I am not sure if your recommendation for load-average applied to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS as well or if you were just discussing MAKEOPTS. thanks, allan
